Before you begin, think about the placement of the following items. Where will they appear on your page?
- Navigation
- Titles
- Images
- Content
- Special Features (Videos, MP3s, Animations, etcetera)
Open Google Sites. Establish your site using the new version of Google Sites, not the Classic version.
- Create your new site by clicking the large "+" in the lower right hand corner. Name your site First Name Last Name's Academic Resume Website
- Example:

| VERY IMPORTANT: Turn in your page through Google Classroom. You can unsubmit and resubmit as many times as you like, but make sure you end each work session by turning the site back in. |
- Create your pages by clicking Pages in the right hand panel. Name them as follows:
- Home
- Resume
- Community
- Academics
