Follow the step-by-step instructions to create your Weebly site.

Record the username and password you select for the site as you will need it every time you edit your Weebly site.

Create your website and customize to meet your specific needs.

Be sure to include active hyperlinks to several of the age-appropriate and educationally relevant web resources that you have found while working on the second module of the course.

Those clickable hyperlinks are, in my opinion, one of the primary reasons for having a classroom website. It is so much safer to have students start their online explorations with a clickable link to websites that have been previewed and selected by the teacher than to just turn them loose with a search engine or a complicated web address that has to be entered into the browser location bar.
