My Experiences:
- I think that Google Sites could be a great tool for teachers to communicate with parents and with the community around them. There are several features that make it a wonderful tool for sharing various types of media all in one place.
- However... I was a bit frustrated in trying to figure out how to make things look just like I wanted them to look. Some of the widgets were confusing, and a lot of what you can put on your website must first be created through another Google App. For example, when I wanted to include a slideshow in my site, I had to first create a Google Slides presentation. When I wanted to place a calendar on the page, I had to import a calendar from another source.
- Some of the design elements are not in the same place. For example, the way that you change the layout of the page is in a different location than the way that you change the theme or background of the page.
