Google Sites Keeps Getting Better!

1/18/2021

🖊️​ Fonts are here! 

Google Sites has been the best tool to use with students because of the ease of access and drag and drop features. The one thing that has kept me from using it outside my hub for teacher resources is the lack of creative choices native to Google Sites. 
The wait is over! You can now change your fonts inside Google Sites!

Google Workspace Updates: Google Sites December '20

Looking for more updates, check out this Workspace post.  Making font changes to your entire site is coming, but it's not here yet.   I'll take this in the meantime! 
​

📢​ Announcement Banner

Another feature I missed somehow is the announcement banner.  To add this to your current site, click the settings wheel and toggle on the "show banner" option. You can personalize it from there depending on if you want the banner on all pages or just the home page.

Example: I'd use it to guide educators to my blog since I use my Google Site as a resource hub for teachers in my school.  The directions for adding this to your site can be found here (only available in the new Google Sites). ​

⬇️​ Collapsible Text

The last feature I was super excited to find is a collapsible text box! Again... not sure how I missed this update! Some of my pages have a tendency to get a little long, but I don't necessarily want the content to be on another page in the drop down menu. This is the perfect solution!   Here's an example using content standards. Detailed directions for using  this feature can be found here.

🎨​ Have fun with your Google Site! 

Now, I have some updating to do! I hope this will give you the push you needed to give Google Sites a try if you haven't already. 
I'd love to know how you use Google Sites.  Please tag me (@specialtechie) on Twitter with your thoughts and/or creations.  I love learning from you too!
