Introduction
As many of you are aware, I have an old website that I use for my students and peers teaching similar subjects. On it, I put my daybook, student lessons, and any support documents they may need. It's been through many iterations over the years, being edited in various tools such Notepad, Front Page, HomeSite, Dreamweaver, and currently, RoboHelp.
I'm now in the process of converting that old website to Google Sites, in an effort to make editing the website easier and quicker. My current tool for editing the website, RoboHelp, is an amazingly powerful editor and publisher, but it's not the best tool to let me make changes from wherever I happen to be and on whichever computer I happen to be using at the time.
As I learn more about Google Sites, I'll update my comments in the section " What I'm Learning on this Google Sites Journey" . So far, it's working out to be an incredibly efficient tool for sharing information. Where to Start...
If you're a student or parent, you'll probably want to start at the relevant course page:
Parents, you may wish to look here.
If you're looking for general information about a course or resource, you can use the menu on the left side of the page or the search box on the top right corner of the page.
If you're looking for the homework assignments or announcements, they are listed here (for all courses). Note that many assignments are "ongoing" and may take many days or even weeks, and will not necessarily be "announced" on a regular basis. My Social Networking Sites
For anyone using social media, keep these tips in mind before posting!
