www.weebly.com is a website that allows you to create your own personalized webpage. It is SUPER EASY to use.....most items are drag and drop. It took me about 30 minutes to create a website for myself. The only negative about weebly is it can be slow to load images/pages.
Students could create their own website using there name or a nickname. They could use it to post links and pictures of projects they are working on in class.
To view the web page I created, click HERE!
