Creating a Classroom Website using Weebly - The Brown Bag Teacher Connecting families to the classroom and giving them the tools to work with students at home is a huge part of our jobs as teachers. Although I use many modes of parent communication (you can read about them in this blog post), I love having a ‘landing’ where families always have access to the information they need. Emails bounce back, texts are sometimes erased, and paper newsletters reside in a mystical land of lost home/school folders…do you feel me? My classroom Weebly site is always available and contains all of our must-know classroom information – dates, newsletters, photos, videos, and learning resources. Weebly is a free and SIMPLE blogging platform. Unlike Blogger, Snapfish, or WordPress, Weebly is all drag-and-drop. Using the blue menu at the top of the screen (seen below), you can also create and organize your web-site pages. When families go to our website, they arrive at our Home landing page. Now, for the individual pages on our class website. So friends, this is Weebly.
