I created my first website several years ago in a graduate class at Aquinas. This past summer we had our desktop tower worked on, and I lost the settings to my original web page. I created this new site using Weebly, which I had heard about from someone at school. I like the site better than what I had been using because I wasn't able to make changes to my site from a remote location, like my classroom. Now, depending on how busy the server is, I can make instant changes at school or anywhere else. I like being able to make those instant changes. There are many things that I like about Weebly, for instance, I like the assignment upload page and being able put videos or screen casts right on the page. I have a smart board at school, and I put a screen cast lesson on my site that is very accessible for all of my students and parents. There are also some things that I would like to see improved as well. I find it hard to upload an entire document like I should be able to do. I found that I lost some of my editing when I tried this feature. I am not sure if I will stay w/Weebly or if I will try something else next year, but for now I like the site.

Thanks for your reflection on your use of a place to keep your students informed and organized.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure your students and parents will appreciate the ability to learn about the goings on in your room. Having a classroom website is a key to communication in the 21st Century.
Great work.
