Weebly

Hey guys,

Holly figured out how we can each have our class as a part of our Weebly sites. This will be important if we end up using the Weebly accounts for student blogs. If you are interested in how to have a class associated with your account, follow the following steps.


1. Go to http://education.weebly.com/
2. Log in using your current weebly username and password
3. There will be a pop up that says
o You are about to convert your Weebly account to Weebly for Education.
This will enable special features on your account geared especially for teachers, but will also provide the same Weebly features you are used to. You must be a teacher and the primary use of your account must be for education purposes; otherwise, you account will be flagged and potentially banned.

This conversion is permanent. Do you wish to continue?

4. Click “Convert my account”
5. There should be another pop up that has an option to “Set up a class”
6. Follow the onscreen directions

7. If the option for “set up a class” isn’t there up at the top underneath the Weebly logo next to My Sites should be a tab for My Students.

    Weebly Pro has been approved and I am working with Melanie to get it purchased. I hope to have it soon, so we can finish our pages before the deadline.

    Saw this resource while reading the iLearn Technology blog today and thought it might be helpful.

    Hey Everyone,

    I went in and talked to Melanie today. We set up Weebly Pro, it's good to go. She also purchased BrainPop. The password is the typical PK password and the username is PKY. Hope this helps.

    Could someone give me an idea of what can be added with Weebly Pro?

    We still cannot use YouTube videos, right? They will be blocked? (I'm having trouble finding additional water cycle videos that aren't on YouTube). The water cycle is only mentioned in the 5th grade text book, so I'm still lacking offline resources there.

    I have all of my menus written as word documents, but am unsure of how to embed or hyper link them on the site.

    Also, has anyone had success using Discovery Streaming? Most of the resources I found there weren't available in my area, or they loaded with no sound, or they just never loaded.

    If anyone has any pointers or tips, I'd appreciate it!

    Thanks!

    Weebly Pro is how you will be able to use YouTube videos. You have to download the video (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/easy-youtube-video-downl-10137/). Then using Weebly pro you can embed the actual video. If you look at my chemical pages the videos that are actually on the page are YouTube videos. It's the only way to bypass the filter.

    I've had some success with discovery streaming. There are videos for most of my standards groups.

    Hope this helps

    You can also download "YouTube Downloader" as a program. You can not only download, you can also convert the videos.

    You can also upload documents onto the Weebly (like PDFs) with Weebly Pro if you want.

    I contacted Julie about the youtube video thing and her response was:

    "That makes no sense at all, but I would get with Joe.
    This really needs to work and I think he will be the person you have to speak to – might save some time to get with him first."

    I have contacted Joe and cc'd Russ and Julie on it. Hopefully, we will figure this out soon....
