 * Presenting History: Using Weebly to Create Student and Teacher Websites **

This hands-on session will introduce teachers to Weebly, an online resource for the creation of teacher and student websites. Weebly enables students and teachers to express themselves using a variety of multimedia features. The program is simple to use with a drag and drop website editor that allows users to add text, pictures, videos, music and audio, maps, and photo galleries to their sites. Examples and tips for effective implementation will be discussed and shared. Weebly is free, useful for both Macs and PCs, and is accessible over the Internet without the need for installation.
