Wowwy, Wow, Wow! I love Google! I know that Part 10 is coming before Part 9 (scheduled to post later). However, when I was preparing the original Part 10 (Preview, Share, Publish – now Part 11), I noticed a new feature: Components. Right now there is just a divider bar, but I suspect that Google will add more Components later. I was so excited I HAD to make Components Part 10!

New Google Sites Part 8: Other Page Options
There are a few page options that I didn’t mention in my original post regarding pages. I have also been asked if the new Google Sites allows for page level permissions for editing. While Google does not, yet, have page-level permissions, I can still see the edits made through Google Drive.
New Google Sites Part 7: Adding Pages
When creating a website, having more than the home page is, sort of, a must. The new Google Sites allows you to create a new page with just 2 clicks. The simplicity and ease of the new Google Sites make creating a great website incredibly easy.
New Google Sites Part 6: Additional Tips & Tricks
There are a few additional tips that can make creating a site that much easier. I know, it’s hard to believe that Google has tricks that can make an already easy tool, easier.
New Google Sites Part 5: Google Embeds
Not everything Google is located in our Drives. How do we embed those items in our sites? The answer is simple, especially since we are talking about Google. The third section on our sidebar menu is ‘Google Embed’.
New Google Sites Part 4: Insert Drive/Doc
Using Google allows the user to seamlessly integrate items in the Google Suite. Inserting something from your Drive is as easy as a click of the button. Rearranging and adjusting your layout is even easier! The simplicity of the tool is one of the most attractive features.
New Google Sites Part 2: Header
New Google Sites helps take the guess work out of creating a custom header. There are several options to create just the right header for your site. Google has some preset headers, allows you to search free to use images, and even gives the option to upload your own image. And the process is so easy!
New Google Sites Part 3: Insert
Inserting items on the last version of Google Sites (which I loved) was a bit complicated. However, with the New Google Sites, it’s as easy as 1 or 2 clicks! Check it out:
Place Value Basics & Mult./Div.
Last year, I began using Jon Corippo‘s 8 p*ARTS . I saw great success with the repetition. As a result, I thought I’d like to do something along similar lines with Math. Now, I will admit, what I came up with isn’t nearly as fun. However, the repetition is there. This is for 5th grade and can easily be modified for other grades. Here’s what I came up with.
The plan:
- Today’s Number – Have the student of the day decide on the day’s number anywhere from billion to thousandths place. However, the number must be at least to the tenths place.
- 10 times greater – Take the original number and make it ten times greater.
- 100 times greater – Take the original number and make it one hundred times greater.
- 1,000 times greater – Yup, take the original number and make it one thousand times greater.
- Add 10 times greater and 100 times greater – add the numbers.
- Write a number that is GREATER – Have students change ONLY a digit that is AFTER the decimal.
- 1/10 times less – Take the original number and make it ten times less.
- 1/100 times less – Take the original number and make it one hundred times less.
- Subtract 1/10 and 1/100 – subtract the numbers.
- Write a number that is LESS – Have students change ONLY a digit that is AFTER the decimal.
- Prime factors of the first 2 digits of the whole number – Only take the numbers in the ones and tens place and find the prime factors.
An example is given on the second slide. This should be done daily, with an assessment each week. The first week or two should be done as a group until the class understands what is expected. Once they ‘get the hang of it’ all that is needed is the number and the students can do this independently.
Update: Since the beginning of the year, I have added a new daily practice paper. Now that they can do the Mult/Div paper well, I switch back and forth. I will soon add a fractions practice paper to the mix.
NEW Google Sites Part 1: Getting Started
I was a fan of the old Google Sites, but admittedly it was clunky. Last year when Google announced its launch of the new sites I was stoked! It was the update I had been waiting for for years. The look is sleek and it’s easy to build a beautiful site. Now that it’s out of just the edu market, I’m even more thrilled. This video will kick off my video series on the New Google Sites!
