Add Google Site Pages

L ESSON 1

Add Site Pages In this lesson we will add pages to our Google Site. Each of these pages will represent a content area to be taught in the classroom. The content areas include math, science, social studies and language arts. If you are departmentalized, your pages could be Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and Geometry. Each page will represent the main category of the content.

A create page will display. Let's provide a name for this page.

Click on the add page icon.

1

I'll name my page Math. The URL for this page will be added to the main site.

Below the name are options to select a page template and where the page will appear in the menu. Leave these options alone.

2

Click the create button.

The math page will be created and placed into edit mode automatically.

3

I'll enter some basic information about the page.

When You're done, click the save button.

4

The page will be saved and a menu item for the page will be created at the top level with the home page.

Repeat the previous steps to create pages for the other content areas. In my example, the Language Arts page appears first in the menu. I would like math to be first and language arts last.

To move menu items, we need to edit the site layout.

Pages are automatically placed alphabetically in the Sidebar.

Click on the Page actions menu.

Select Edit site layout from the options.

You should see the Edit site layout title at the top of the page.

A navigation configuration box will display. Click the Add Page button to add one of your pages to the navigation.

A list of the pages on your site will display.

The Home page will be added to the navigation. Repeat the process with all the other pages.

I've added all the other pages to my custom navigation.

Language Arts is still below the Home page.

10

I'll click once on Language arts and click the down arrow once to move it down one location.

I'll click the down arrow two more times to place Language Arts at the bottom.

11

Use the same steps to position page menu items as needed.

Click the OK button when you're finished.
