=**The Google Big 5: Sites**=



**In this module you will learn to...**
>
 * create a Google Site
 * create a page
 * upload photos and other artifacts

**Quick facts**

 *  Single-click page creation. Creating a new page for your Google Site just takes the click of a button.
 *  No HTML required. Creating a Google Site is as easy as editing a document, which means there's no markup language for you to learn -- just get started.
 *  Make it your own. C ustomization options let you give your Google Site your own look and feel.
 *  Upload files and attachments. Use the file cabinet to upload files up to 10MB in size. Each Google Apps account receives at least 10GB of storage in Google Sites.
 *  Embed rich content. Google Sites is integrated with other Google products, so you can insert videos, docs, spreadsheets, presentations, photo slide shows, and calendars directly onto your Google Sites pages.
 * Permission settings let you designate owners, viewers and collaborators (others who can edit pages) for your site. You can make your Google Sites available to just a few people, your entire organization, or the world.
 * You can search across Google Sites pages and content using powerful Google search technology. You'll find specific pages and documents instantly, the same way you would on Google.com.


 * Create Gmail Account before attempting to create site.
 * Think of several names for site.
 * Create desktop folder to store artifacts (photos, videos, other multimedia).
