Overview

Using Google Sites you can build internal project hubs, team sites, public-facing websites, and more—all without designer, programmer, or IT help. With the new Google Sites, building websites is easy. Just drag content where you need it.

When you create a new site, it’s automatically added to Drive, like your other files stored in Drive. You can edit a Google Site together with someone else in real time, and see each other’s changes live. Publish the site for everyone to see, or restrict sharing permissions and make the site accessible only to people you want to share it with, like vendors or suppliers. This helps to make it safe for school use as well- you are able to restrict access to the website to your school's domain meaning only teachers and students from that school would be able to view content on the Site.

Google Sites websites are responsive, which means they’re optimized for tablets and smartphones, too.

Google Sites could also be used as a classroom blog or a version of a Learning Management System (LMS). You can also link items from your Google Drive to your Google Site (Docs, Sheets, Slides, etc.). Google Sites could also be used to share resources or assignments with your students.
