Frequently Asked Questions

On this page you'll find answers to questions I often get asked about the internet communications project, particularly concerning Google Sites.

1. Should I use the "Class Website" template in Google sites? A: You can if you really, really want to, but take our advice and don't! When you select this template, it populates the site with a bunch of filler text that you have to delete, and students ALWAYS forget to delete some of it and lose points.

2. Is there a specific theme I should use in my site? A: Whatever theme you want, just make sure it looks professional.

3. Is there a certain order I should list my pages in the navigation bar? A: I don't specify any particular order to any of your navigation, just make it logical so people can find what they are looking for. If someone is looking for some specific information (like when I'm grading your website and checking to make sure all the requirements have been included) and they're not sure where to begin looking, you might want to re-think your navigation.

4. How do I make an announcements page in Google Sites? A: See this video for a tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pM8WfFSwds&
