As the title suggests we are in the process of testing out a few software options that we can use to house our next digital textbook. If you want to view the student book created in wikispaces you can still access it by going through the "Way Back Machine" or click on the link here. With both Garth and I (Travis) working in districts that use google services we thought we should try a few google products to see if they would be a good fit. The first google product we decided to try was Google Sites and though it wasn't perfect it did work.
Below are a list of pros and cons on using Google Sites.
Pros

Below are a list of pros and cons on using Google Sites.
Pros
- User friendly
- Multiple students could work on it at the same time
- It auto saved
- You can easily embed videos, pictures etc...
- If you use the image button within the editing page it only pulls fair use images
Cons
- Does not track changes. So if someone accidentally deletes a page there is no way to bring it back. (At least not that I have found)
- Does not allow you to change the color of font (It does change text color of headings)
- limited options on adding background color
If we think of other pros or cons we will add them to this list. If you have comments or questions please let us know.
