DI Intensive Week 8

Today we have been looking at the new Google sites. The new sites are very user friendly and are really easy to use. In saying this though, for more complex websites the new sites will not be the one to use. Instead I strongly (along with everyone else) suggest that you stick with the old sites.

New sites no longer give you the ability to use HTML which is a big drawback. They are also stricter on inserting videos from non google compatible websites. Another drawback to the New sites is that it does limit the way you insert images and where they can be placed. Although this isn't the end of the world, it does make resizing images an issue.

All in all though, after assessing all the negatives, there are still positives for the New Sites. The time it takes to create a simple website is a positive, especially if we are trying to develop new learning tools within a short time frame.

As our practice we created a simple site to share our class websites. A link for mine can be found below. Digital Intensive Team Class site
