What do I think of Weebly? It sucks! As a matter of fact, I'm hating all technology right now. Because of last week's robbery I am doing my project on my pc. This pc should be in the big pc graveyard in the sky. I worked literally all day from 11am til 6pm. Nothing worked! Weebly was also uncooperative. It would not let me upload a single photo. My homepage got deleted and when I ran to the bathroom for a much needed break...I ran into a dining room chair and broke my baby toe!!! I know it was my fault, my homepage, garbage in...garbage out. One good thing is that I was able to get different fonts on my project. However, being so hung up on the technology made the writing process for me much more difficult. The story gets lost.
This got me to thinking about the disadvantages of the financially challenged student who does not have the resources to be able to learn and practice technology skills they've learned because they don't have a computer or the ability to get somewhere to use one. I know my situation will change. I'm fortunate.
So for students where the project is using technology they are not going to do as well. I did not enjoy this project. I felt a bit overwhelmed and out of touch. I won't keep this going after this class. I hate weebly and feel it hurts the writing process and the creativity of the writer. Maybe if we paid for weebly it would have been more user friendly. As it is it's difficult to navigate if you've never done it before.
