Weebly

Making a weebly website was certainly very straight forward and simple to create. By following the instructions included on moodle and the straight forward website I feel that I have a basic understanding of how to create a website effectively. My website can be found at http://kimsweebly.weebly.com/

STRENGTH
Easy and straightforward to use
Students have the ability to create their very own personalised website with their own ideas and creations
Free to use
Can be accessed from any computer- not just in the classroom
Can be shown to parents in home environment which encourages students to feel more valued to have their work acknowledged

WEAKNESSES
May be hard for all students to have access to a computer with internet outside of school time
Depending on age and ability of students, more than one teacher or helper may be required in the classroom
Can lead to students being distracted by other websites whilst using the internet

OPPORTUNITIES
Gives students opportunities to further their ICT knowledge
Allows parents to view childrens work and become more involved with their learning
Can be used in any subject

THREATS
Lack off access to internet
The website does have a cost for some uses

Overall I found using weebly very effective and I will certainly be using this in the classroom when I become a Learning Manager. With the many positives, I feel it would only be beneficial for the students and encouraging for students to create their own personalised website with their very own ideas and design.
