pages. If you have made any change in a page by mistake or you want to revert to previous version of the page, you can do it under More action button. You can change the page name/title, page URL and page description in page settings. Also you can change page location even once it is created.

9. Work Together and Share
Pros: • Encourage student to be self-directed in their learning
as they can select, manage, and assess their own learning activities any time beyond their curriculum time.
• Interactive resources such as Quizlet, Videos etc can be integrated into the google site.
• Helps groups direct their geographical inquiry collaboratively as well as allowing them to review the steps needed in the geographical investigation to encourage self-directed learning.
• Create public website and private intranet more easily and quickly on a secure platform free.
Cons:• Limited page layout and design options so
customization is not an easy option. • Some of the interactives I created from
Classtool could not be embedded using the html code. I have to put the link on the webpage instead.
