Google Sites is a tool that allows you to create professional looking websites without requiring any technical knowledge of HTML. One of the best things about Google Sites is the ease with which you can integrate your Google calendar, documents, or videos. Google Sites can be shared with a small group to keep track of a project, an entire organization to provide timely information, or the entire world to promote and share information.
