Hi everyone,
Please see the link above to Team High School's Group Leadership Project for CEP 812. We attempted to create a stand-along professional development piece for teachers on using Weebly to supplement/compliment courses. We choose Weebly for a few reasons. Many of us has played around with it a bit in previous classes and really liked how simple it seemed. Scott, our fearless Weebly leader, had more extensive and positive experience with it which added to the perceived value. I have used course management systems for several years now and was interested in the freedom and flexibility of using Weebly as an alternate tool, especially so parent's could see the content. We chose to use the tool Weebly, to deliver the content. The intent here was to demonstrate the usefulness of the tool as we taught our peers. I learned more about Weebly from working on this project. My specific content area was the video about how to blog. I really like Blogger, but see myself using the Weebly blogging tool to keep everything streamlined when I implement a site as a supplement/compliment to future courses I teach. We used Jing to record video because several of us had already had used it, it's free and easy too. If I had to develop a similar product again I would add a bit more text or headings to lead the viewer to the videos. The project is currently not one seamless presentation and to be honest, I am not sure if it is truly clear to the user where they should begin or end. I think at this point it is difficult for me to judge that since I have worked on it so much. Maybe by stepping away and coming back I would have a better idea. Or better yet, we can test it out!
Thanks so much.
Kathy
