[Year 12 IT Apps] Online Web-Authoring Tools

[ATKINSON-BUCK, Damien]

Hi Michael,
My 2 cents worth, I would suggest no. Looking at the required software functions that students are supposed to know here<http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/Pages/correspondence/bulletins/2010/July/vce_study.aspx#H3N10050>.
I haven’t used Google sites, but I know with wix, students wouldn’t have the capacity to put in their own css page, make their own buttons, or a few other requirements.
I could be wrong (apparently I have been once before ☺) but I’d stick with a pure website editor like Dreamweaver in one of its variants.
Cheers
Damien

Hi all,

I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I'm just seeking clarification and perhaps a fresh perspective... Can Google Sites classify as a web authoring tool for the purposes of IT Applications?  And for that matter, what about other web-based platforms like Wix and Weebly?

Thanks.
