 * Google Sites[[image:google_sites.jpg width="336" height="131"]] **


 * Description:** Google Sites is the forenamed company's response to the wiki craze and to web-page building. Its strength is its ability to integrate many features of other Google Applications like count down, calendars, gadgets, file sharing, Youtube videos and more. Teachers can use this product as a very effective Learning Management System. It is a little more difficult than Wikispaces, but does not suffer from the capricious formatting that seems to occur on this site. We could have included Google Sites on the wiki page, but we felt that it deserved separate billing.

__Pros__ -great integration with other Google Products -effective LMS -fairly intuitive __Cons__ -more complicated than other wikis -seems to often slow down later in the day when the west coast is also online -cannot embed non-Google videos
