I am finding the layout for Google sites very frustrating. I started out trying to use a ready-made template, but then it wouldn’t let me input any of my own stuff.  Then began the battle to the death with Google over me trying to delete the site, and start over. I finally smarted up and went to the Google search engine and found out how to delete it that way. I think this is an example of how all powerful searching Google for how to do stuff is. I might not like their sites and interface for Gmail, sites, etc, but they sure know how to connect me to any and all information I might want to find.

The next fight was trying to get multiple pages. This, surprisingly, was much easier. This gives me hope that adding things to said pages (PowerPoint’s, documents, photos) will be much easier than actually setting up the site in the first place.

I still think trading skills (my cookie making abilities with my friend’s tech skills) would be a more efficient use of time in the future.  I like the idea of using tech in the classroom, but I have a feeling that now that I know what I can use, I would probably have someone else set the sites up for me (in exchange for cookies).
