Google Sites

 * Google Sites** is a [|structured wiki] offered by [|Google] as part of [|Google Apps]. Because Sites is build on a wiki base it is very flexible and without a lot of effort or skill you can use Sites for webpages, interactive wikis, or a blog. A good classroom use of Google Sites would be to use the sites for collaborative projects.

**Using web 2.0 tools with students** **Wikis and blogs are 2 tools commonly referred to as web 2.0 tools. It is the policy of the Somers Public Schools that web 2.0 tools be used in a controlled environment where the teacher controls who views and participates in the online activity. If you have any questions about this policy or how to control the environment please contact Jim Morrow.**

To control access to Google Sites requires all participants to have a working email address. If you are looking for a wiki or blog to use with your students and not all of them will have a working email address then I suggest you take a look at Wikispaces. On that page I will show you how to give your students access to a Wikispaces wiki without a working email address. media type="file" key="Google Sites_ Simple, secure group websites.flv" width="360" height="270"
