My Take
Overall, this website was vey easy to set up and create. I felt elementary age children could navigate it with ease. It is free to educators and the weebly advertising is very minimal (you barely notice it!). I do recommend this product.
How I Use It
I used this as a my classroom website. I aded important parent information, websites that students could use during class time, and homework information. Students were able to use this website at home and school. Parents could be confident that the links posted to my website have been reviewed by me and were largely safe for their children to use at home. It also helped manage absent students; families could download daily homework information.

Not user friendly for whole class - unless each kid has his/her own device and internet @ home...
My take is that it would work fine if you did this individually, but it is difficult to do as a whole class unless you have students with their own devices and internet access. I would opt for something else - Live Binder or Dropbox maybe.
