Google Certified Educator Level 1: How To Embed Clickable Webpage Thumbnails in Google Sites?

An educator wants to add linkable thumbnails from other webpages to their webpage in Google Sites. What should they do to accomplish this?

To add linkable thumbnails from external webpages to a Google Site, the correct method is to embed the content by URL or code.

Using the “Embed” tool with a URL automatically generates a dynamic preview card. The platform pulls the featured image and meta description directly from the target website. This creates a clean, interactive visual thumbnail that visitors can click to reach the external resource.
