camatthews Jan 19 @ 9:32 PM EST

a4 I use Symbaloo mixes instead of hyperlinks - the visual is better for k-2 Also Calendar (Gsheets) for Month of Links #gafechat

LISDTechie - Moderator Jan 19 @ 9:33 PM EST

My favorite feature about Google Sites is ability to have many collaborators/editors on one site #gafechat

MrSchoenbart Jan 19 @ 9:55 PM EST

Nothing integrates the other #GAFE apps like Google Sites. That's the power right there #gafechat

alicebarr Jan 19 @ 9:56 PM EST

A Extra Q: I call Google Sites the “GLUE” because it lets you bring all the other Google tools together in one place. #gafechat

mbswoods Jan 19 @ 9:56 PM EST

Extra A: That I can still edit HTML to get things to look the way I want them to #gafechat
