That new feature is the ability to copy specific pages from one site into a new site.  The new page copying option lets you select a specific page or set of pages to copy from an existing site into a new Google Site. To do this simply open the editor for your existing Google Site, open the "three dot" menu next to the publishing button, then select the pages you want to copy. I've included screenshots of the process below.  Step 1: Step 2: Applications for Education  This new feature could be helpful at the beginning or end of each school year. If you want to create a new Google Site for each school year, but don't want to start from scratch each year, simply copy the pages that you want to re-use and then build the new site from there. Watch this video for an overview of Google Sites publishing and sharing settings.        • Email to a friend • How to Create Filters and Labels in Gmail Last week I answered an email from a reader who wanted to make sure that email from specific senders always ended up in a priority folder in her Gmail account. My suggestion was to create a filter for the sender's email address and then apply a label to the email. I've done this for years to make sure that I don't miss messages from a few people and to make automatically sort out messages that have specific keywords.  In this short video I demonstrate how to create filters and labels in Gmail.    Applications for Education As I mentioned in the video above, I create filters in my Gmail (Google Workspace mail) to send all of my students' emails about homework and other assignments into one folder that is labeled "homework." Then when I'm going through my inbox I can respond to all homework questions at the same time.     • Email to a friend • More Recent Articles My Big List of Resources for Teaching & Learning About American Thanksgiving How to Create Re-usable Daily Check-in Forms Three Updated Google Docs Features Hands-on Activities for Learning About Macy's Thanksgiving Parade Docs, Geography, and Videos - The Week in Review
