Creating Links
Creating links within your site is a great way to help students navigate the Internet. For example, if you want students to conduct a research project, but don’t want them wasting time finding inaccurate information or websites that are beyond their reading level, you can provide a set of links to preselected web resources. Below are a few ways that you can create links within your site.
Turning Text into an External Link:
1. Copy the URL that you want to create a link to.
2. Logon to Google Sites
3. Select the Site that you want to add a link to.
