google sites

I  love using Google sites and I've thought of so many ways to use them in my classroom. I could have my own  classroom website for parents to look at and use but the possibilities are endless beyond just an about me website. I am currently doing my practicum placement in a special education setting and I used Google sites to teach a lesson to my students. I created the main page and posted the  directions for all the groups on that page. Under that page I posted group 1, group 2, group 3, and so on so that every group would have their own link to a webpage. Each group had to go online shopping at a particular store then use a percent off coupon to determine how much of a discount they got with the coupon and how much money they saved. Every group had different stores and different coupons so I made them all their own links on the website. I taught my mentor teacher how to use Google sites and all of the possibilities she could do with it. I can definitely see myself using Google sites for many things in my classroom someday.
