Comments from those who selected Google
Sites as one
of their Top 10 Tools in 2008
- "Sites replaces Google Page Creator.
It makes web design fun and easy. Sites allows you to
insert lots of extras including videos, widgets, etc.
You can create an unlimited number of sites but are
limited to 100MB of space."
Leigh Zeitz
- "This wiki based service provides the capacity to develop
online-learning communities in ways that I feel surpass
any of the efforts that many have been making to put the
power of community/collaboration in peoples hands. (ex.
Microsoft has likely spent a great deal of time and
money to enable the Innovative Teacher Network... yet it
falls far short of the quality or potential of Google
Sites.)"

opening the beta on this sometime this summer"
Terry Elliott
- "JotSpot is a powerful
"application wiki", that I've been using for some
years both in ALT and elsewhere. Here is an example
of a
manual created with JotSpot"
