Template Gallery

For the Site template launch, Google released ix templates in 16 languages. Each template has a specific purpose with a professional look and feel. Google volition build more templates every bit time goes past.

The gallery is divided into 3 main categories: Education, Personal, and Work. The Teaching options of Class, Gild, and Student Portfolio are amazing. These templates will give teachers a bound start on creating a website and, even better news, a solid framework for students to begin a portfolio. Remember that the creator is non express to the template framework; modification and changes are simply made. The template allows for the background to be laid and the users get to bound in and create the content.

My first inclination was to bound into each template and come across the information Google had supplied. It was a bit time consuming, so I hope the breakup of each template and the pages and potential sections within each will be helpful to teachers and students.

Drop me a comment and permit me know how y'all plan on using a new template for your lodge, class, or campus. The initial rollout of templates is a great addition to Google Sites. I nonetheless think teaching how to create a Google Site is all-time from scratch, but if yous are non focused on the how-to, a template is a peachy place to start.
