Google sites makes creating a website for business or pleasure simple for an experienced web developer or a novice. With Google's design templates a developer can insert pictures, video, and text with the click of a mouse. A creator can also incorporate existing documents stored in Google Docs quickly and easily by placing them on a website and making them public or placing permissions on the links.
This assignment was probably one of the most challenging assignments for me in the course. Mainly, because I had never worked with Google sites prior to this. The tutorials and videos provided valuable information in how to develop a site. As I continued to work with it more and more it became quite easy to use, and to get the site to cooperate with what I wanted it to do.
Google sites would definately be something that I would want to employ in my computer concepts courses. The design aspect would be a great critical thinking activity to build upon web design techniques and formatting.
In terms of designing my own course site for the courses that I teach online; I am not in favor of using Google Sites. I felt limited in many ways with presenting the course material during the development of the site. It may have been my limited experience in working with Google sites, but I like the course managment software of Blackboard better in terms of teaching.
