How to use the New Google Sites - Tutorial 

Okay, I literally hated the old google sites, I must have made 20 and each one ended in confusion and eventual disappointment. Now that said, the number two thing I hate on all the internet is when someone who is obviously bright, and there are a lotttttt of people on this thang, but bright or smart people don't know that they are trying to talk as fast as their brain is thinking, GREAT, only the rest of the world cannot process the information at the speed of thought as fast as they do. My last thing I will say is you are the first person to talk fast that I was shaking my head up and down as to understanding two thirds of what you were saying, and that is just incredible! If you could slow down about 20 per cent you could be awesome. Now I will replay and replay most sections of what you are teaching and I will get at least a working knowledge of what you presented here. Thank you

Excellent tutorial!!! My S.O. & I have been struggling with the classic Google Sites for years, turning out "almost good enough" product, always thinking "Why isn't Google doing better." This was similar to when Google Docs only offered a handful of fonts... Thankx again.

Thanks for creating this video! I'm creating a new course where students will be using the new Google Sites for their portfolio, and this video is included as the main tutorials. Thanks so much.

I'm happy to know this is still in an Alpha or Beta testing phase because it IS beautiful but I was concerned about having my old site not being compatible or looking wonky. I look forward to more of your videos on the New Google Sites as it progresses. Thanks again!

What I like is the power this will have for students to create their own websites as another platform. The old Sites was terrible but this update will be fantastic to use in classrooms. Can't wait to incorporate into GAFE

Thank you so much for doing this video tutorial on the new google sites! I don't feel so overwhelmed and intimidated in starting to do my e-portfolio homework esp for someone like me who is not at all a tech savvy person.

Great video thank you for your amazing explanation

Thanks for the tutorial! I've asked my Year 7 ICT classes to watch it so they can start building their own sites. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks very much. I all ways find your video professional and well explained and clear .

just happened to come up in my feed.. thanks b/c I am a beginner to web design I will use this first.

Outstanding video primer. I messed around with google sites back in about 2012 to use it as a mobile site platform. I haven't looked at it since. I see this as a good way to build a quick site with a link for SEO purposes.

Thank you Jamie for the concise and helpful introduction to the new Google Sites. Good job.

Great overview video of the new g.sites version. It is an exciting upgrade!

Wow, looking forward to this, great video. Thanks, huge help getting kicked off with the new sites!

Thanks for that super tutorial on Google suites. I plan to share it with my students and encourage them to use it to create an ePortfolio of their learning and work product..

SUPER HELPFUL. Thanks for helping me get started.

So looking forward to the new google sites - I have made many google sites and changed templates in the existing version of google sites - this looks so much easier. Hope it happens soon!

Good tutorial.. is there any way to add your own html pages in this.. or to embed charts?

Thanks, we got the early beta too. Playing around with it for a volunteer forum for our nonprofit. Will come in handle when I want to link keep informational content to the pages.

Nice teaching ❤

Hey Jamie! how do I go about adding MY calendar to my site. oh! sorry, I am a teacher and I'm in charge of making a website for my church. this is good practice for me to get my shop site up and running. (On that one I'll be bugging you about google forms LOL I need to make some self-assessment/self-reflection google forms for that.) It just seems that when I hit calendar it puts a generic calendar in but without the info that I've added. if you can help - I'd be very grateful! And i am very grateful for this tutorial - by far the best and simplest explained. Great job!

Thank you for all of your videos ... i have learned so many new things from you!

I really like and appreciate your tutorial. Your instructions are clear and useful. However, I wish you would also clarify the numerous limitations of the new Google Site in terms of selection of font color, font style etc. I find the new Google Site to present an easy and fast cookie-cutter approach and personally prefer the classic site's ability to offer more professional looking options.

Thanks for helping me use the new google sites to create my site!!

Very informative thanks

Jamie! How easy is it to edit and change your site once it has been up and running? Is it just as simple as going in and change and publish? I've watched a bunch of vids and your's is best - THANK YOU!

Thank you for making this so easy.

@Teachers Tech -- Re: Blog? & PDF Embeds Sorry to be a pest. I am very excited about the 'new' Google Sites. But I am concerned that some vital elements are missing. Any way to add a Blog? In Classic Google Sites, I used the Announcements page to create a 'pseudo' mini-blog. Does the new G-Sites allow for a blog (by any method)? Does the new G-S allow PDF embeds? Again, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge.

Hi, My current webpage is created in google sites. Do you know if there is a way to migrate it over to the new sites (we are an early roll out school and I have access to it) ~or~ in the alternative, is there a way to add html so I could copy and paste my current pages into the new sites? Thank you!

Great tutorial !! Does The NEW Google Sites has lightbox image display?

This was helpful. Thanks!

The menu bar does not look to be too customisable, but we shall see.

Can parents subscribe to new posts on the new google sites? Or how can you notify others of changes to site?

Thank you! I love the simplicity of this!

So wonderful. Thank you.

Can OLD Google siktes be Converse-sko to New Google siktes. If so, How. Would the old site be lost or can I return to the old. Thankful for an answer.

Hello - in the OLD Google Sites there was a feature to set a Page type to 'List' as a mini-DB. I used this extensively for all my previous sites. But with the NEW Google Sites, I don't see anywhere to create a List like before. Is this a feature Google didn't bring over, or am I just missing something? Thanks in advance.

Re: EMBED WOW SLIDER??? Howdy #Teachers Tech First and foremost, thank you for producing the most informative tutorial on RU-vid about the New Google Sites. One of your previous tutorials taught me how to embed a WOW Slider in 'classic' Google Sites. *** Is it possible to embed a WOW Slider in the 'new' Google Sites? (I don't have early access to New G-sites. But, I wonder if the option 'EMBED URL' will allow embedding a WOW Slider, 'hosted' on Dropbox, to a new G-Sites site?)

What about integrating the app with Google forms so that you could create a note taking system for class for students.
