Using Weebly to build your Classroom Website

Jump to Comments

Here’s a follow-up to an earlier Weebly post:

There have been increasing numbers of educators who find that a classroom website is a good way to stay organized.  Here are some basic, very useful functions:

• Announcements
• Class Calendar
• Homework Assignments
• Supply Lists
• Pictures
• Post Student Work
• Parent Involvement/Volunteer Opportunities
• Classroom Rules and Policies
• Links
• Your Bio and Contact Info

A website is more informative, while a blog, ning or wiki is more interactive because they allow students to contribute.  I actually suggest having both.  But because blogs, nings and wikis require constant maintenance, it’s nice to have a website that is super-easy to build and edit.

I suggest using Weebly for this.  It’s free and extremely user-friendly.

Here are some classroom websites built on Weebly:

• Mrs. Boggess’ Kindergarten Web Page
• Mrs. Shields’ 3rd grade
• Mr. Coley’s 5th grade (made with Microsoft Front Page, but worth including here!)
  
• Miss Mitton’s 5th grade
• Mrs. Tentoni’s Algebra II and Stats
• Ms. Roush’s Geometry
• Mrs. Craun’s Biology
• Mrs. Lyon – High School Health, Physical Education & Sports
• Jan Harding’s page for teachers – Teaching with Technology
• Whitgreave Primary School’s site, with a different page for each class
• A Parent Teacher Organization site

If you have a Weebly website, or plan to get one, please share your URL in the comments!
