It provides you with the space and tools needed to design your portal the way you want and all for free. In yesterday's post we shared a collection of tips and guidelines to help you learn everything you need to get started using Sites in your instruction. In today's post we are sharing with you 4 good Google Sites templates you can use to quickly set up websites for various educational purposes. Of course, you can always customize these templates, add/delete sections and pages, change layouts and themes and many more. To access any of the templates cited below, head over to Google Sites template gallery.
1- Student Portfolio template
This is an excellent template students can use to create their own portfolios. It consists of the following sections: About me, Achievement, Strengths, and Goals. Of course, students can add more sections and pages using the Sites editor.
2- Club template
3- Class template
4- Event
You can use this template to design websites for special events for your class or school. For instance, you can use it to create a website for a conference or workshop you organizing. You can add sections to share particular details about your event; for instance, speakers taking part in your conference, the goals of the event, where it will take place, and many more.
