Teacher Tutorials in Google Sites

Rule: Do “not” hyperlink to stuff you require college students to view.

Some analysis I learn years in the past indicated that hyperlinks don’t get clicked on. The knowledge I’ve collected over time has verified this. If I ask college students (or anybody) to click on on a hyperlink the press charge is fairly low. For this cause I attempt to keep away from utilizing hyperlinks for something obligatory for college kids to view. If I would like them to hyperlink to an exterior web site I take a screenshot and hyperlink the screenshot. This manner if they don’t click on on the hyperlink they nonetheless see the important thing data proper on the Google Sites web page.

As you make edits to the location they’re in draft till you hit the publish button every time. After hitting the publish button, who can see the total website? That is the second choice “Published site.” The default is your college area. If you need others to have the ability to view the printed hyperlinks you will want to alter this.
