Creating a Google Site and Adding Your Calendar, Form and Video

Good Morning, Happy Friday and Welcome to the last day of our Quarter 1 Progress Period.  Today is a great opportunity to look and reflect on your grades, make sure they are exactly where they need to be and brainstorm how you are going to continue on this positive path and/or where you need to focus your efforts to ensure the best grades possible in each and every class.  That said, today is also a great opportunity for us to wrap up our Google Sites assignment with a simple blog post.  Below are a set of questions, but as always, feel free to add some of your own thoughts and insights in addition to your responses to the posed questions.

• What was the purpose of the assignment you just completed? What was the task and what needed to be done in order for you to successfully complete the assignment?
• Describe Google Sites to your audience.  What did you really love about using this tool?  Name 3 things that would motivate you to build your own Google Site.  What are some things you disliked about using Google Sites?
• Did you find the assignment easy to complete? Did you have any trouble? If so, what was the biggest challenge?  Do you feel you know and understand enough about Google Sites to help a friend or family member create their own attractive website?  What questions would you have if you were going to help someone with something like this?
• Take a moment and look around the internet for a website you really like.  What website is it (include the url)?  Name 3 things stands out and/or catch your eye?  Could you incorporate these details into your own Google Site?  Why or why not?  What make them interesting/important elements of the website?

Thanks for your thorough, thoughtful response.  Don't forget to post a picture of your Google Site.  You can choose to post any of the 3 assignment pages you'd like :)  Lastly, if you still have not submitted your blog (it says missing under the "Blog Address Submitted" Assignment) please click on this link: http://goo.gl/2hX0hS and complete the required form.
