Location Biography Project: Creating a Google Site

Location Biography projects are published as public website. Please choose your preferred platform to host your site or follow the directions here to create a free Google site.

1) Go to sites.google.com. Sign in with your Google Account, if you have not done so already. Create a free Gmail account if needed.

2) Create a new site by clicking the “create” button on in the upper left corner.

3) Name your page with your last name and topic.

4) Go to the “share with others” icon and share the site with your instructors. When you are ready, click the “Publish” button and give your site an easily identifiable URL.

5) Visit your course Location Biography Directory file and add your location biography URL. For CSU students this is located on Teams.

6) Return to your site and begin adding content. Populate your page with text, maps and images for your location biography project. Be sure to cite all sources using the citation style chosen by your instructor!

You may choose to use a different hosting platform. That is ok, but give your instructor editing access in the dashboard so they can support you as you build.
