7. WHY I AM “PRO” WEEBLY? I am all for encouraging and keeping our students engaged. This is a fun, FREE tool that students can easily access anywhere. Weebly allows students to be creative, and think out of the box. The student’s website will be live, free, and anyone can see the students work. It allows students to be able to collaborate with others. Collaboration is a good way to promote student learning!
