SitePouch – Share Multiple Websites

SitePouch is a free to use website that lets you view multiple websites together. This is a useful tool if you want to limit your students to research only selected websites. Instead of having students typing in the URL for each website, SitePouch can create one link for all the websites.

Enter the web address for each of the websites on the SitePouch webpage – SitePouch will then generate a unique URL that you can share with students, that contains the websites that you have chosen in a stack. Clicking on one of the listed website URL opens it up while the other sites remain on the stack. Clicking on a new site in the list opens it up and hides the previous site.
