Google Pages

First Off, I will have to give this google pages thing another try.  I use Safari as my browser and google pages does not support the use of my browser to it was not fun trying to add images.  Most things worked pretty well though.  Do to some of my troubles I personally do not like google pages at this time but would possibly like it after using it more with IE or Firefox.   

I created a page that could be a "homebase" for a class.  Depending on the assignment I could see students adding their own pages to the website.  I feel that there are safety issues with having students create websites at schools as it is easy to hide links that could be very  innapropriate... Our computer teacher has students make websites that our for lack of better words "fake."  

This page is an example of how a student could create a webpage for specific information and the rest of the class could later use the website for that information.   Similar to what we did for our wiki.  In my case, I chose tool safety.  We currently have students research and give presentations on each tool but having students create websites would add another level of understanding and be interdisciplinary instruction.
