Weebly PMI

Weebly is a website that essentially lets you create your own free website.

Plus:

  •  Upload text, pictures and videos
  • Insert YouTube clips, hyperlinks and voki's
  • Creation of website - set-up of website orientation, colour scheme and imagery - use of different designs, headings and text etc.
  • Teacher may create but allow students to become 'editors' as to add or change information
Minus:

  • Once published anyone can view website
  • Teacher may need to demonstrate navigation or website creation skills
  • Teacher cannot post a feedback comment directly onto student work

Interesting:

  • Students can create indivdual or group websites for assessment
  • Teachers can create a website that scaffolds student learning or investigations

I did have an example of a Weebly website that was created for uni assessment purposes. The website was actually a SOSE webquest unit where students would progress through each page with numeous activities that they would need to complete. However, I did not reference my images or give attribution because I was blissfully unaware of copyright at that point in time. You'll just have to take my word for it, that I has successfully utilized Weebly before. :)
