Abstract
Various free website-building platforms exist, and they offer the opportunity to anybody to design, populate, and publish a website, even if the designer has limited digital proficiency.
The aim of the interactive workshop is that attendees learn the fundamentals of designing and populating a Google site. The presenter will start from scratch and show how the 'skeleton' of a site can be built. This will include sections for all modern languages requested, and sub-sections for the four skills in of those languages. Then, the presenter will make the site editable by anybody with a gmail account, and attendees can edit the site on their own devices simultaneously and add content and links they feel would be useful for modern language teachers. After the site has been populated with content by attendees, the presenter will then demonstrate how to duplicate the site. Thus, everybody in attendance (who wants to) can make their own copy of the site, which the can then edit as they see fit in future for their own personal or institutional environment.
