Developing a simple website

Developing a simple website is a part of constructive tool. Some of the constructive tools that I have learnt till date are Mentimeter, Kahoot, Quizze, Google Docs, Coggle.it, and Google Slides. 

Following are the steps to develop a simple website.

1. Go to the website https://sites.google.com

2. Write a title by changing the untitled site name with a preferred title. 

3.  Insert an image of self on the page by going to the 'settings'. After that, choose the 'brand images' and towards the right, choose 'upload' and then choose a photo.

4. Then, change the title for the page.

5. Towards the right hand-side, by using the 'themes' option, we can choose and change templates to our site.

6. By using the 'pages' option, we can add pages to our site that will be displayed towards the top right-hand side of the page/site.

7. In order to create or add a page, go to the 'pages' option and click on the + sign. Then, write a name for the page and click 'done'.

8. From a set of content blocks under 'insert', drag a text box from content blocks and drop it in the area where text needs to be inserted. 

9. In the text box that i created, I wrote my resume. 

10. When I was done writing, I clicked on the arrow next to 'publish' option, and chose the 'view published site'.

To share, the following steps should be followed:

a. Copy the link that is on top the page where resume is being created. In my case, this was my link

https://sites.google.com/view/lekis-mind-frames/resume

b. Go to google.

c. Search for 'shorten the url'.

c. From there, choose 'Bitly: URL shortner'. Towards the bottom of the page, paste the link that was        previously copied. 

d. After pasting the link, click 'shorten'. The link gets shortened. This was my shortened link https://bit.ly/3FR85k4

e. The shortened link can be shared to others where they can access the link to see the resume.

My Google Classroom was successfully created.   There are two ways a teacher invites students to join the Google Classroom. The first way is by inviting students via e-mail where they will get a link to click on.

For this, I clicked on the 'people' button on top of the page where it provides options to add students and co-teachers.
