Google Part 2

What?
This week we discussed how to create a Google Site and how to edit it.  Our assignment this week was to create a site with six sections that could be used in a classroom.

So What?
I loved learning how to use Google Sites because it is easy to do and easy to follow.  I can create sites for everything from school work to a place for my family to find things.  I like the way it follows the layout of all other Google products.  The save, cancel, and edit buttons are all located in the same place.

I am really excited to use this tool in my everyday life.  I can create a site for my family to post pictures, and update everyone on each others lives.  I will be able to give them the site without having to worry about other people finding out things from status updates and writing wall to wall like on facebook.

Now What?
As a teacher, I can use Google Sites for my classroom.  I can create a site for my classroom that has deadlines, announcements, information about myself and my classroom, a calendar to show when certain events are going to occur, and a place for parents and students to know what will be happening in the future.

I can also teach my students how to create their own sites.  They can use their sites to keep track of what they are doing.  Life today is so busy that a place where everything can be shown and kept will help students and their families keep track of their crazy lives.
