Weebly's App

         It’s that time of year again… I’ve assigned the semester project to my 9th graders (they’ve actually been working on it for a few weeks now). I’m using the same semester project I did last year, hoping it work better than last year. If you’re unfamiliar with my semester project, I asked my students to choose a book (a book that I have deemed appropriate for their ability level) and they are blogging about what they have read. Last year I made my students make a Weebly website but this year I let them choose. Most did choose Weebly, though, so we’re getting a good feel for the latest version of the Weebly app. 
     As I’m sure you know, I’m a big fan of Weebly—it’s the site I use to maintain this website. I had tried to use the app in the past, but it wasn’t the most user-friendly so I stuck with the computer version. However, Weebly has made some drastic changes to their app and now I’ve been using it with my students on a weekly basis. The app makes editing one’s Weebly site significantly easier than editing via the website on an iPad, so if your only device is an iPad, you NEED the Weebly app. 
     I, however, have had a different issue since I started all of my Weebly websites with the computer version. Since I did that, I am unable to edit all parts of those websites through the app. I’m not sure what the issue is, but I’ve had to stick with the computer version for the Weebly sites I have had for years now; therefore, I haven’t really been able to assess the efficacy of the app except through working with my students. 
    So what is the final verdict? Well, the Weebly app is great if that is where you started your website. For those of us who have used the computer version for many years, well, we’ll have to wait until a few more bugs are fixed and stick with the computer version for now. Either way, Weebly is a wonderful resource for any classroom and my students have enjoyed creating something that the wider world can see and use.
Cheers,
Lesley
