Welcome to Warren's Google web page.
GooglePages is an example of just one part of what is becoming known as Web 2.0, also referred to as the Read/Write Web.
The Read/Write Web makes it very easy for people to use the web to publish information, rather than just using the web to consume information.
The Documents link at the left provides some QuickStarts if you want to try creating your own GooglePages site, and also some info on how to upload documents and photos to your site.
The Examples link provides some ideas from others who are using these technologies with their students to support the school curriculum.
Information about other web publishing options for the education community is available at webpublishing.wazmac.com.
There is also some information about the Read/Write Web at where2now.wordpress.com.
Other popular "mainstream" implementations of the Read/Write Web include Blogs (eg: WordPress, Blogger, etc ), YouTube, Delicious, Wikis (eg Wikipedia), MySpace and Flickr.
While this technology is being widely used in the community, it is frequently banned/blocked in our schools.
Our challenge is - "can we use this technology to make our school curriculum more relevant?"
Have fun!
