I found this little tool while looking up ideas for closure in a lesson. One suggestion is that students log on after school and post a sentence summarizing that day's topic. It. Becomes a collage of sentences which could be used to review for an exam later. Simpler than a forum. This could also be a sourced for flashcards. I've included here a screenshot of what will become our wall for the topic of motion. You can choose the font and the background image. You can even select the privacy settings for who can see and edit the page.

You can choose a background such as places, animals, landscapes or you can upload your own image. Then simply take a new photo or upload a new photo and follow the simple instructions on how to "Cut" and then "Paste" into your background. I love how tactile this app is.

If you decide to create a website with Weebly, then ... mayhaps you can refer me? We can EACH get $10. Yes, you heard right. They will pay both YOU AND ME TEN SWEET DOLLARS. <3 kthxbai Cost: Option of Free version (which is pretty awesome. I use it) or Pro version for $39.95 which allows fancier things though I don't know that you can get any fancier than what we already have here.
