Web publishing tools!

1. Yola online Web Publisher (Gr. 9-12 recommended)

[|Yola] is by far the most diverse and complete online web development tool I have ever come across.



Start from a template and construct a site with little or no technical skills needed! Synthasite handles all types of web content, it support embedding and layout is reasonably flexible. The free sign up is quick and easy. The only downside to the site is that a teacher would not have control of the content.

2. Wix

The [|Wix] website creation tool is truly amazing. It is the best of the tools by far for students Gr. 2-10. It has a very simplified signup, it supports multiple sites, the tool set is very extensive, it supports animation and all types of media. It is only lacking in embedding your own Web 2.0 media choices. Thus for an older grade I would still choose synthasite. This site is amazing! [] Created by a individual in Wynyard High. Check out my wix example as a website version [|here!] Here are some student samples: Nokomis School - Grade 4 Whales and Literature Research! [|Whales1], [|Whales2], [|Whales3] Holdfast School - Creative Writing - The Twelve Days of Christmas! [|Xmas1], [|Xmas2], [|Xmas3], [|Xmas4], [|Xmas5], [|Xmas6] Teacher content samples: 1. [|To Kill A Mockingbird - ELA 20 Novel Study] 2. [|Creative Writing 20 Course]

3. Weebly [|Weebly] came onto the scene as an ultra simple drag and drop website construction tool. Although it is a little limited for the free edition you can certainly put it to good use. I have used it with Grades 4 and 5 successfully to create website in plant science.

4. Wetpaint - is it a blog, a wiki, or a website?

This is very graphical webwikiblog. It is very popular and operates like a wiki. Check out wetpaint [|here.]
