What is Weebly ?

Weebly is a website that allows users to create and publish to the web their own websites. Weebly is free and is very user/beginner friendly because it utilizes a “click and drag” interface.

What are the benefits of Weebly?

Weebly is a Web 2.0 tool that is very straightforward and easy to use. It is considered a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) web designer, so users do not have to learn how to use html or any other type of coding. It is free, which is always a plus. There are many options to customize your site to reflect your teaching style. You can add documents, images, maps, videos, audio, and links to other websites. You can even embed code if so inclined!

Here is an Example of a Weebly we created.
