Learn how to make a class website with Google Sites. In this week's education technology tutorial, veteran educator Sam Kary shows you everything you need to know in order to create a dynamic, interactive class website for your students.

Posting all your course materials online has always been an important way to make your class more accessible, but the uncertainty around whether or not schools will be teaching students remotely, in-person, or through a blended approach, makes creating a class website even more relevant.

In this video, you'll learn how to use Google Sites to share assignments, course materials, and links to other technology programs, how to use a class website to showcase student work, how to use it to keep students and families updated about important school events, and more!

You'll also learn how to integrate your Google Classroom with Google Sites in order to create a significantly more engaging and dynamic digital classroom experience!

Dear Sam, I've just created a draft of my class site following your clear and easy to follow tutorial. Thanks a million, I really love learning with you. You make everything so easy and achievable. My students think I am a tech teacher, but the truth is that I spend my nights watching your videos to learn more and more each day. Wish you all the best. Thank you very much!

I have been using a computer for 32 years, but I am totally just a keyboard kowboy. I dont understand the nuts and bolts of tech. I am so looking forward to setting up a Test site for Teaching English online. I Teach English online video chatting 40 hours a week. I work for a platform that is so frustrating. could You let your followers here post links to their websites after they finish setting theirs up? That might encourage some more of us to do the same. Thank You a million. This is absolutely what I need to do. TIA.

Thanks for your amazing video, Sam. My problem now is anytime my students make updates to their portfolio I get so many email notifications. It makes me worried with my emails. How to cope this problem? Is there any tips how to adjust the email setting in portfolio platform? Thanks.

@debrafilipowicz2832 3 years ago

Your tutorials, Sam--are a huge help in this unprecedented school year! I so appreciate this! Thank you for going slow and methodical with your explanations, understanding that not all of us are tech savvy teachers.

This was one of the best tutorials that I’ve had. It was clear, dynamic, and presented with a stylish velvet voice. Thank you for the inspirational fly over the Google Sites scope.
@jeanieandersoncarpenter9127 3 years ago

I really thank you for this presentation!! I am studying for my Google Educator's Certificate, Level 1, and their directions were sketchy at best. I designed my own website while watching your video (with a lot of pauses and replays) but I have the start to a site that I really like!!

LOVE your content! Thank you for posting these videos. I’ve already forwarded them to my HS Math Dept. 🤗
