Why should I have a teacher website? Why Google Sites?

In GUHSD our recommended and only supported website creation tool is Google Sites. Sites is part of our Google Apps for Education account and it integrates seamlessly with Google Drive, Docs, Spreadsheets, Forms, Presentations, and Calendar.

Additionally, it is surprisingly easy to create and maintain.
