Google Sites - Mid-Year Staff and ICT Seminar

Preparing for the Staff and ICT Seminar in late May and June was both exciting and exhausting as we planned to use a different platform this year - Google Sites.

We planned to show the teachers the capabilities of what Google Sites could do by modelling its use in the seminar itself.

Coordinating with the various key personnel was not easy as they each had different time lines and piecing and putting all the information into one site took me and the trainers, especially Jean, a great deal of time. But finally the site was done and we conducted the seminar, which aimed to develop the staff to create eLearning packages via Google Sites than on iMedia so that more collaborative elements like Google Docs and Web 2.0 tools could be employed to engage the girls.

Here's the link to the seminar site.
