Weekly Tech Update 12/7 to 12/11
Google Updates Sites and Jamboard, but not Classroom...yet
I keep watching for updates in Google Classroom that many of us(and others across the nation) have requested, but nothing newsworthy to report as of yet on Google Classroom. However, there have been some developments and updates in 2 other popular programs in the Google Workspace. Google Sites and Google Jamboard are getting an update.
Google Sites Update
Google Sites is undergoing an update. One of the more common complaints about Google Sites is the inability to have more control over customizing your text, styles, color, justification, etc. It appears that Google is finally giving us that ability. Schools that are enrolled in the Rapid Release domains will start receiving the update on December 1st. The Scheduled Release domains will start seeing the update on January 5th. I will keep checking and keep you updated when the update comes to our domain.
In addition to the update for text formatting, the themes in Google Sites will be getting an overhaul in early 2021 as well.
