Heather Wellman Highlight Showcase Blog Post

I really liked your portfolio showcase that you made. I did not use Weebly to create my portfolio, but I would like to look into it to create a classroom website. From your showcase I learned that I could embed photos, videos, and documents to enhance the overall website. You also mentioned that a teacher could do almost anything they wanted on the website, which makes it sounds very appeasing. With Google sites, which is technology I used, there are not as many features, but it is also totally free. I was wondering what features you had to pay for and which ones were free? I did not realize that you could embed Google docs into this websites, which I think is very useful. As you mentioned you could put a document up for parent teacher conferences and the parents could fill in what times that worked for them. I also liked that you included how you could use this technology in the classroom. I think it is a great idea to have the students use the Weebly as a portfolio to showcase their work to their teacher and parents.
