A huge thank you to Jacci Erney for a great presentation about how she uses Weebly in the classroom. Weebly is a website builder that allows you to create a great looking educational website quickly. If you missed our last session, you can watch the recording here:

Recording of TLP-C Weebly in the Classroom – February/March 2016

Jacci began by describing what Weebly is and how it works. Highlights include the many free templates and designs as well as the ease of adding images, columns and text. Also, by signing up for a free educator’s account, you get 40 student accounts. Students can then create their own website. Weebly also allows you to password protect student pages.

Jacci also shared how she has used Weebly for her own class website and for resources for her parents. Check out her class website: http://mrserney.weebly.com/ In addition, Jacci found she had a lot of parents asking about ADHD and strategies that she also created a website with ideas and resources for helping with ADHD. Here is her site for that http://helpforadd.weebly.com/

We then had a chance to learn more about how students are using Weebly in her class. The websites are password protected, so we won’t put links to them here, but we had a great time in the session checking out the work they did. Jacci shared that students loved the ability to create their own website and she found that their writing increased as a result.

For those of you in ACPS, please know that we don’t support Weebly but similar features are available in Edublogs, ask your TIS.

Thank you to Jacci for sharing your insights, ideas and knowledge with us!
