Combine Content and Technology

I began using this tool as an undergrad, using it to present some of my larger projects that were multi- dimensional which included videos, maps , pictures, documents and links all bundled onto one easy to use website. Now as a teacher I not only use it as a Profolio, but use it to organized my online lessons for my high school students. It helps with keeping the day to day stuff organized, being able to organized it by date within the website and easy enough to create a new one weekly to minimize the size of each website reducing the amount of information per website helps reduce the students from feeling overwhelmed especially since the beginning of this crisis .

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.

I have seen reluctant readers and advanced students create and manage Weebly sites with ease. They are extremely interested in taking ownership of teaching others about their research and opinions. It has allowed them to work independently and has truly taught them the value of digital citizenship.
