Abstract: This study investigated the use of Google sites as the web-based technology to support secondary school students' learning of design and technology (D&T). Using qualitative survey, students reported their prior knowledge of e-learning and how the e-learning supported their learning. It was found that students did have certain misconceptions about what e-learning was about based on their prior e-learning experience. Despite these misconceptions, students were still able to recognise the benefits which e-learning brings. Students' reported positive and negative experiences in using Wikis supported by Google sites to engage their learning and the implications for educators and researchers will also be discussed in this paper.
