Weebly, Blogger and Wikispaces

After exploring the Weebly website setup I am amazed at how easy it is to set one up!
I think this is a great tool for classrooms. Students and parents can access it at home and classroom activities can be linked into the website for students to complete in class or at home. It is all there for easy access and it easy for teachers to navigate and add to. It would be a great opportunity for students to access other resources at their own will for extra learning.

Wikis and blogs are a great learning tool for classrooms as well. Allowing students to access the Blog or wiki and have the opportunity to post videos, web links and other information that they thought was useful to the rest of the classroom. In some cases this could add more work and or stress for the teacher or it could work the other way and be a useful tool in allowing the students help the teacher research for information.
It is another great way for teachers to learn about their students interests and ability as well. A great profiling technique if used appropriately.
