Tool 2: Website building using Google sites https://sites.google.com/new
In Class :
One of our friends, Nagesh Pokle from M.Tech taught and demonstrated how to create our personal website with google sites.
A detailed and accurate representation was given almost clearing all the doubts I initially had.
Assignment: Create a personal website and a design journal entry for the entire course
Outcome: The website that I am writing this blog in is the outcome of the assignment.
Pros of the tool :
Open access tool for everyone having a google account
Easy built-in features that can help anyone even without a knowledge of website building to create at least a basic version of the website they want to.
I especially liked the scaffolded elements embedded in the site, from insert options to themes and different formatting options. It made the website creation well-paced.
Cons of the tool :
I sometimes feel overwhelmed by the number of elements the tool provides.
Some features are not easily found in your first few attempts until you navigate and look for them.
To do :
Complete the remaining part of the website
Find interesting pictures to fill in
Write the blog after every class
Look at the design aspects of the website. Make it appealing or interesting
Personal gain: Was able to create a personal website that I was intending to for quite a long time but was procrastinating thinking it was a difficult job.
