As you probably realized, Weebly itself (the tool that we used to create and host this site) can be a digital teaching tool.
What is Weebly?
Weebly is a free hosting and website building platform. Weebly provides free website themes, and allows you to customize content and formatting by using click-and-drag design elements (e.g. text blocks, titles, images, slideshows, surveys, forums, videos, etc.). While some of the design elements are "premium" (i.e. Weebly wants you to pay for them), it is totally possible to create a very robust site without these pay-to-use pieces.
Some Suggestions for the Classroom:
There are probably nearly infinite applications for Weebly as a digital teaching tool, but here are just a few to start. A Weebly site might be used as:
- A classroom resource
- A student publishing tool
- A way to foster online class discussions
- A summative assessment
