Welcome To Jaycen Rollison's WEEBLY Presentation!



Weebly is a web-hosting service that allows the user to "drag and drop" while using their website builder. Weebly site offers site elements that are able to be dragged and dropped, which allows it's user to take a simplistic approach to creating a website without knowing any html coding. Weebly works with all operating systems, and automatically generates a mobile version of each site which makes viewing from tablets and cellar devices easy and accessible.
 * __Overview/What is Weebly?__**

Using Weebly as classroom resource is a great motivator for both students and families. My elementary building is currently focusing on student motivation and parent involvement. We are continuously trying to integrate technology into our lessons. Using Weebly is a wonderful resource for the students to use, as well as keep parents and families up to date on what we are learning about in school.

__**Pedagogical Considerations**__ Through the use of a Weebly, teachers are able to communicate with parents, students and community members. Weebly allows teachers and students who have little experience with html coding to create a visually appealing website that is fully functional and has all the amenities of a regular website. Weebly is also a simple way for teachers to allow students have access to all notes, classwork, homework, and any other information they might need to be success 21st century learners.. It provides for self-directed, collaborative learning, and helps parents stay aware of what their children are doing in the classroom.

__**Presentation**__ My presentation is broken up into 5 parts due the program that I used to create my presentation was an application called Jing. Jing only allows screen captures of videos up to 5 minutes in length. The videos are a continuation of each other in these videos I provide information in reference to how to initially set up your Weebly. I explain the basic functions of Weebly and how this user friendly site allows you to make a fully functional website by simply dropping and dragging boxes onto a blank canvas and ultimately create a work of art. I was also able to utilize Weebly in my classroom in which students were able to utilize the WhiteBoard and become engaged in the educational games that were provided in "Learning Games" section of the my own Weebly site.
