For teachers and class sites
Google Sites is popular in schools, and the widgets fit classroom needs: a countdown to the next exam or to the school trip, a timer for a timed exercise shown on the projector, a clock with the time of a partner school abroad. The timer starts with a tap on the board, and the sound can be turned off for a quiet room.
| Class use | Widget |
|---|---|
| Days until the exam | Countdown, days only |
| 15 minute quiz | Timer, starts on tap |
| Time at the partner school | Clock for that city |
Good to know
Google Sites places embeds in a box that you resize by hand; the widget fills it. The embed works for everyone who can see the site, including visitors outside your organization if the site is public.
For a display screen in a classroom or a hall, a whole page can show the widget alone: in the Pages panel, hover over + and choose Full page embed, then paste the code. Open that page in full screen on the projector and the countdown fills it.
