Weebly for Teachers Free Website & Blog
October 9, 2009 — Lynne M Bailey
Weebly is a free online web page creation and publishing site. I’ve been working on a Weebly site, Tek4Ed, site to replace my GooglePages site and have found it to be very user-friendly, complete with drag and drop editing. They now have a special service just for educators. Features include:
- Managed, protected environment with easy password protection
- Easily add Multimedia features including videos, photos and more
- FREE .. and includes 40 student accounts for teachers. You can buy more, too, in packs of 10 for $10, and you can upgrade to a Pro account for $39.95/year
- NO Advertising!
Weebly provides over 70 templates with the added flexibility to completely customize your own, and it’s all hosted for free by Weebly. You can also use your own domain name at no extra charge.
You can create blogs at Weebly, too. However, I couldn’t find a way to import or export posts, which means I’ll keep using other blogging engines that do, such as this one which using WordPress.
By the way, tomorrow “Using Weebly to Design Classroom Websites” with special guest Dan Veltri will be the Classroom 2.0 webinar session. Details are at http://live.classroom20.com.
