pvlearners: Enabled Sites

Google has just released a new product called Google Sites, and we've enabled it for you to use.

What is Google Sites?
It's an online application that makes creating a team web site as easy as editing a document. You can quickly gather a variety of information in one place -- including videos, calendars, presentations, and attachments -- and easily share it for viewing or editing with a small group, our entire organization, or the world.

• Anyone can do it -- Building a site is as simple as editing a document, and you don't need anyone's help to get started.
• Share from one place -- Create a single place to bring together all the information your team needs to share, including docs, videos, photos, calendars and attachments.
• Work together -- Invite co-workers, classmates, or your entire organization to edit your site with you to keep it fresh and up-to-date. And let as many or few people view your site as you want.

Take a look at some example sites to see how you might use Google Sites:
• Team project -- http://sites.google.com/a/altostrat.com/project-eggplant/Home
• Employee profile -- http://sites.google.com/a/altostrat.com/jkraus/Home
• Classroom -- http://sites.google.com/a/googleclassrooms.org/mrs-richau/Home
• Student club -- http://sites.google.com/a/googleuniversity.org/ski-club/Home

I've enabled Google Sites, so you can start creating your own Google Sites now (might take 24 hours from this email to actually activate).

To start using Google Sites, go to http://sites.google.com/a/pvlearners.net

If you have questions, visit the Google Sites Help Center at http://www.google.com/support/sites.

Disabled Start Page

We've had some "issues" with inappropriate gadgets showing up in "New Stuff". As I believe the power of pvlearners is more in shared sheets, docs, presentations, etc.., I have disabled the Start Page. Consequently, to access mail, sheets, docs, etc., you will need to access pvlearners (without gadgets), at;

http://mail.pvlearners.net

Start page is no longer functional. Let's see if this works better......Let me know...
