Google Sites

Overall, I like Google Sites. It is SO easy to use - major plus. There is no steep learning curve. IT was simple and I like simple. I was disappointed with the little amount of choice, however, I felt like I couldn't fully "make it my own". I felt like anyone could make almost that exact same site. I prefer more options, fonts, colors, layouts, etc.

How do I see this being used in the classroom?

I see myself having one for students and parents at home.
I see myself having one for me and my colleagues to continue our professional education (maybe).
I see my students making one.

I would love for my students to create Our Class Website. Let everyone in the class have their own additions to the site. It could be interactive and a lot of students would really enjoy that.

My site is very classroom-y. But I like that!
Although I think the choice is limited, it is sufficient for people seeking to make their own website, for anything really, simply and easily.

Overall: good experience and will probably use again

(I also just thought about the fact that I have little to compare Google Sites to ... so maybe my reflection is a little off)
