Loving Google Sites so far! I realize HTML may be a problem later, but I'm up for the challenge. I'm psyched because I know I can use it in my district. I don't need special permission and I don't need to beg IT guys to open access (I'm tired of making cookies as bribes). Plus most of the kids have gmail accounts, as teachers and counselors advise them to set them up for college app. process.
I think it will work great for everything I need/want to do this year. It's really a one-stop shop since there's Google Forms & gmail all in one place.
I actually plan to do my presentation for the final project on Google Sites/Forms, because I will present the tool to my boss as well as our colleagues in the elementary schools. I may do it as a presentation that can be emailed to them.

Digital Storytelling
I loved making the story on Photo Story, though I had some issues with mt headset. (Another reason to buddy up with IT folks when working in a school). I can't wait to make some for our school library.
We're doing a Shared Read over the summer that includes 5 titles. The video teacher made a video encompassing all five, but I'd love the students to make their own photostories on the titles. It might be a fun first lesson to do with the incoming 9th graders, rather than orientation. It would be a great alternative to a book report.
Wix was pretty cool too, though I plan on checking out Glogster also. But I like the fun factor in Wix.
