Well, I learned something new today. I discovered Google Sites. Google now offers free web page templates and domains. Instead of a Moodle or a wiki, we have the opportunity to create a website using the simple tools offered by Google.
When I taught Grade 8, I created a webpage using dreamweaver. Not a bad program, but not very intuitive or user-friendly. Google sites appears to be very easy to use and set up. I think I'll have to try this out when I have some free time. My band has been thinking of using the web to share our music and this might be a way to do it. The sample pages look great and all have a unique feel in how they are presented. A plus is that you get to choose who can view your website and have a lot of control over what you create.
I am discovering that the Googleverse is even bigger than I imagined.

This is great news:) I am going to spend some time on Google today! Thanks!!
