"You Weebly, we all Weebly!"

 As teachers, we need to stay organized (or at least look like it), but how do we do accomplish this? In a perfect world, we'd like to keep all of our 'stuff' in one place, which would be convenient in case we need to retrieve something it will always be there (hopefully). So what can I use to please this OCD gotta wanna needa get organized urge? Try Weebly!

So what is Weebly?
Weebly is a website or app that is used to make a personal website for yourself. Weebly's are user friendly and don't take long at all to make. The best part about it is its FREE. The free version is good for beginners, but payable versions are available that give more options.

What can I use Weebly for?
Weebly can be used for multiple things. For one, its a website that you personally made, therefore you can put pretty much anything you want to on it. A Weebly can be your class website that they use on a daily basis. You can put assignments on the website for students to complete, and you can also put your lessons on the website as well. I'll included a link to two weebly's I made in the past that I could potential use in my future biology class.

Final thoughts on Weebly....
I personally love Weebly. I will definitely use Weebly in my classroom in the future, unless my school requires us to use another website to post assignments on. This teacher tech tool separates itself from the others because it's a place where you can put all of your information so you and your students can access it anytime/anywhere. Worksheets, PowerPoint, study guides can all go on this website. It's free so go sign up and mess around with it! Check it out!

  1. This is really well done, sir. If I had to find something to add I might put a section on how to use Weebly or some steps to get them started. Good job explaining what it is and what you can use it for. Also I like how you posted examples of Weeblys you have made.
