Build a "Proof of Concept Site" using Google Tools

This activity will be a continuation of the Sites Activity you started yesterday.  We'd like for you to build a "proof of concept" site incorporating some of the Google tools that we covered in the past two days.    **When you're done, submit your site on the form to the right!** Some Ideas to consider: Incorporate a map of the places you'd like to visit around the area. Add a Doc as a "blog" for the activities you plan on doing. Add video from historical places near your location. Create a Google Earth file that you can share with others about your journey. Add a PicasaWeb album showing the journey of your trip. Use Google Translate to translate some common phrases you'll need on your trip. Create a custom search engine for place, and add it to your site.  Is there anything in the 3D Warehouse you can use in the site? Will you have commenting available? How will you share this site with others? Create a custom logo for your page. What gadgets can you add to your site? A Starting Point! Who is your audience?  For what purpose(s) will they use your site? What is the subject matter to be covered or approached using this site? What types of media or other apps might you embed in your site?  (Why?) What is the benefit of using a Google Site for this, rather than some other tool? Discussion: Were you able to add the things that would help someone better understand your subject?  If it were a prospective traveler, would he or she want to join in your adventure? Consider what it would be like to create a Site for an individual class.  What kind of work do your students do that could benefit from using a Site? How would you designate the "ownership" of the site?
