Creating+the+Google+Site

 =Creating the Google Site =

After creating the Gmail address for every student, I make sure that I create a table which lists all the important information. Here is an example table that I utilize to save information.


 * Student Name || Gmail Address || Password || Address of Google Site || Site Works and Student can access it ||
 * Tom Smith || Tom.Smith@gmail.com ||  novel100 || sites.google.com/site/tomsmithsite.com || Yes ||

**While I believe that it is important to create the Gmail addresses for the students, I believe that the students need to take the lead with the creation of their actual Google Site. When they create the site they are learning the building blocks of using Google Sites technology.**

Below are the steps that I use when I have the students create their account:  Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns regarding this portion of my instructions.
 * 1) Pass out the students' information which includes their Gmail address and password
 * 2) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Pass out an instructional sheet that details how the student signs onto Google Sites
 * 3) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Have the student complete the creation of their Google Site. I stress that they should make their site name appropriate (as it is for a school project) and tell them to make their site viewable to anyone who wants to see it. By doing the latter, I am able to grade their work.
 * 4) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Next, I make sure to have the student write down their Google Site address for me on the provided paper.
 * 5) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Finally, I type in their address in the last column of the example table above. I make sure that each site works and that I have access to it.
 * 6) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Now it is time for the student to create the rest of his or her site during the course of your career studies course.
