Administrators and Weebly

Administrators often push their teachers and students to incorporate more technology into their school work. Why not expect the same thing from your administrator?

Weebly is a simple and easy way for administrators to get a hold of the Social Media explosion. Weebly can act as the hub for everything an administrator needs to do online.

Start off by creating a simple website with Weebly and their straightforward drag & drop web editor. Even a novice can add a Home page, Contact information, Resources, Announcements, and even a Blog, in minutes!

As soon as the page is up and running, Administrators can use Weebly to easily:
  • Collect teacher data and opinions using Forms
  • Embed a calendar of events to include important school events
  • Ask teachers to respond to blog posts in place of staff meetings
  • Embed videos for inspiration, encouragement, or just a laugh
  • Connect with other Administrators through blog commenting or social media plugins
  • Feature staff/faculty work
  • Feature student work
  • Share photos
  • Upload video messages
  • Stay connected with parents
  • Have open discussions for all to see
  • Connect with students in the online environment

There are many more features and applications for Administrators to use. For more information on bringing Weebly to your school or district, visit Weebly for Education Campus Edition. You'll find lots of information setting up bulk accounts and more.
