I am still working on my Google site. I have the pages created. Now I need to add content, graphics, and mess around with the page colors a bit. So far Google Sites is really easy to use and, since it is part of the Google Apps package that our school uses, readily available for our teachers to use without signing up for any additional accounts.

Facilitating Collaboration - Week 5
Wow, this week I found tons of Web 2.0 resources. I checked out the Go2Web20 and All Things Web 2.0 sites this week and was almost overwhelmed with what I found on those pages. I have had teachers ask me for site and application recommendations for their classrooms in the past few years and have always looked at purchasing some tool to fulfill their needs. With these sites I found almost everything for free! This is going to be a great resource for me and my teachers.

I was almost overwhelmed by all of the free Web 2.0 sites that are out there. I found a Social Media site that lets people in the same apartment network and work through any issues. I will be moving next week and sharing a house with 5 other people - naturally that one caught my eye!
ReplyDeleteI used Wetpaint for my Wiki site but have heard good things about Google Sites from Jess Mayo. I have played with Google Sites and I like how easy it is to get going right away. As you pointed-out, you have the Google Apps package for your school so adding additional gadgets and functionality should make the site integration appear seamless to the users.
