WiX.com Beta

I love the old saying, out with the old, in with the new! And the reason I love it is because of the things we can do now as teachers to get students to learn in a different way. Much of the student population have grown up on computers, using them for social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook, as well as using them for important things such as writing reports and doing research. My point is, is that why don't we take the love of MySpace that students have (trust me they go around every filter possible to get on that site at school) and incorporate it into the classroom. I'm not talking about MySpace itself, but the opportunity to create layouts and template that they could use as a report, that is a functional website, created by them, and could then actually be imported into MySpace (if they wanted to...but probably not.) or put on the teachers website or blackboard postings.

WiX.com is free and completely lets you build your own web page. Now, if your not too good or have no idea of HTML or any other web design language, that's alright! They have template you can change, modify, edit, and all other great ways to help customize each site. So stop making your students create a lame poster board, and have them create their own website or MySpace layout (and no, it doesn't need to be on MySpace to view)...out with the old and in with the new!
