Internet Tools Review: Weebly for Education

Weebly for Education at https://education.weebly.com is a free website builder and publisher that is geared towards classroom teachers alike. With an account, not only can teachers create their classroom website, but also provide a technology-rich and interactive educational experience for their students. Students can be involved in creating their e-portfolios as well as complete various assignments and creative projects that can be done collaboratively. 

The web is not often looked at as the safest place for young children, but Weebly for Education makes it a priority to have its users in a protected environment. Teachers can password protect student websites and manage privacy settings to set what information is public, private, and can be edited by students. Not to mention, the website is free of disruptive and accidental clicks of ads.

Just as in its original site, the editing functions in Weebly for Education use a drag and drop feature for building. This makes for a convenient feature especially for students, who can choose from a number of themes and multimedia to include on their pages. From pictures, videos, documents, and maps, students can express themselves greatly to add their personal creative touch while meeting assignment requirements. 

Altogether, Weebly for Education offers a platform for website building that is fairly safe and user friendly. Students may also find this approach to various assignments rather enjoyable. For teachers, it is a wonderful site to share information and promote the use of technology in the classroom.
