Week 3 - Engagement Activity 5: weebly reflection

Engagement Activity 5: Creating a website - blog reflection
Reflect on the functionality of a website. What did it allow you to do?
Weebly is a more complex ICT, it allows pretty much everything that blog and wiki combine, but the owner has more control, and the product has a better finish look. Create pages, upload all kinds of gages, slide show photos, videos, even audio file.

How can it be used in your context, for you, and your learners? Use a thinking tool, such as a SWOT analysis or PMI to brainstorm its functionality. Think also about how you could use a static website to support student learning, but also how your students can use one to express their creativity.


After looking at three different tools, and the experience I had from the last couple of weeks. I think weebly is a better finish product to host learning information, so I have posted a “How to” page on weebly, once student have an idea what they need to learn, they can then click on the button to post their learning experience on “how to wiki”. There is a placeholder for all the information, and there is a place for them to freely share what they have learned or ask teacher any questions. I think a combination of ICT can be quite useful.
I would treat Wiki as a playground where has all the “draft” or free ideas, then tidy them up, post them to weebly so students can have a clear summary of what they have learned. With photo slide, I can post students good work on weebly, this can be a encouragement for them to get competitive, I will probably set up the rule to post three great work from what I found on their learning wiki site and post it to weebly. Whoever got their work posted 5 times can get a chance to create a post and show us a “how to” on weebly.

Weebly- PMI

Plus
         Much better finish look
         Easy to added and edit
         Different pages on top
         Owner controlled
Minus
         Time consuming
         No input from others
Interesting
         This can be a tided up place for wiki

To me, weebly is the finish product I would use to present materials, rather than use it during the process.
