The blogging in class is just the beginning for my students. My ultimate goal is to get the students creating a website that can incorporate their blog. I am planning on using Weebly. I have used it for another class and I really liked how easy it was for the students to work with it. It was also free (can't beat that). I could also use Google Sites and I am heavily weighing that option, but I am still leaning towards Weebly because I find it more kid friendly.
If you have ever used another site and have any recommendations I would love to hear them. If you check out Weebly after this post and have any opinions that would be great as well to hear. Hopefully you check it out.
