The ease of setting up a website through Weebly is
encouragement to use this online tool.
Once again is has similar features to blogs and wikis. The thing that separates a website is that
the content and structure are established by the creator of the site and is not
able to edited or contributed to by someone else. You can ask for feedback by putting in a
contact form or using Facebook and such tools.
In the classroom it would be a good way to communicate to
students with resources and activities they could do outside of the classroom,
dare I say for homework and assignments.
This is really using the website as a scaffold to resources and
information and would allow a student to self-direct themselves to information
they required from you as the teacher.
It would also be a way to assess where students are at with their
learning, by allowing the freedom to create this space to demonstrate their
knowledge.
Personnally, I could see myself using a website to direct family and friends to images, video, and documents of interest to us alone, and limiting access to the site by security such as passwords. Up to this point I have not been very willing to publish this information online via Facebook etc as it is so difficult to keep the information secure.
