TUSD Weebly Training.

Well, the district sure made a strange choice to let me lead an hour-long class on how to build a Weebly Website.  I thought I'd throw together some tips and tricks on this page to help you cope with our hour together. Hopefully by the end of this class you too will have the basic beginnings of what will become a very useful class website.

Disclaimer:

I have no affiliation with Weebly.   I want to share its potential for educators because I found it easy to use when I was looking for a way to update MrHollister.com.   Weebly has made the web building process quite accessible for folks with varied web-building skill sets.  There are many other "Drag & Drop" site builders that work similarly to Weebly that you may want to check out if weebly isn't everything you needed.   

• SquareSpace.com
• Wix.com
• Wordpress.com - For the advanced web tinkerer with time on their hands.
