One question that we got a bit towards the end of last year was an easier way for teachers to know when there are updates to the AHS/AMS Tech Innovation site. Since this is a Google Site and we use the Announcements page to post new tech tips and ideas, you can use a RSS reader to see the updates. You can even use a Chrome Extension to get notices when the announcements page is updated, when new tips are posted.
We tried out a couple different extensions and found two that fit our needs well. You can even use these extensions to follow other sites when they are updated if they have a RSS feed.
The extensions can be found at:
or
All you need to do is to click the links, install the extension and then add the rss feed for the announcements page of the Google Site. Ours is https://sites.google.com/a/ames.k12.ia.us/ahs-technology-integration/home/blog-posts/posts.xml, and it will check the page for updates periodically.
You can even change how often it updates since you do not need it to update very often. Both extensions are a little different in how they look and work but they will both alert you when the site is updated. I would install them both and then see which one fits your needs and preferences better. If you right-click on the extension after it is installed, you can change the options so that it updates more or less frequently.
