Students to Have Personal Google Sites Accounts

ITS has arranged with Google to offer Google Sites, a better alternative to provide students with personal webspace.

With Truman-provided Google Sites accounts, students can build websites via a point-and-click interface. This account will allow students to integrate Google documents and other documents into their personal webspace.

Students can access their Google Sites account (along with other Google applications) at googleapps.truman.edu. The website also includes a free tutorial on how to build a Google Apps site at learn.googleapps.com/sites. Students interested in converting HTML files for Google sites can find this information at www.google.com/support/sites/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=90558.

Truman will be eliminating the current provided webspace, T: drives, at the end of the semester. Students are encouraged to copy any files or webpages on T:drive to hard disks before Dec. 31. Any data that remains after this date will be erased. T: drives can be accessed by logging onto any Truman Lab. Students can VPN from their own computer system at home and map the T: drive first by visiting secure.truman.edu/its-s/vpn/login2.asp?page=/its-s/vpn/index.asp and then its.truman.edu/documentation/index.asp?docId=8.

Students may contact IT Service Center at 785.4544 for any questions or concerns.
