Simple website creator for primary ... advice please

[pooley]

Our Y6 teachers have just approached me asking for a simple way of our year 6 creating their own websites.

 

Has anyone used any of the "free" ones on the www or have any advice or tips as to what we could be using ?

 

I'm 100% that notepad and HTML are way beyond the staff here so a GUI /Template driven one would be best.

 

Thanks

Wordpress?

 

You can download it for free.

One of the teaching resources used at our primary asks for Google Web Designer to be installed. I haven't had much of a play around with it personally, might be worth downloading and playing with?

 

Google Web Designer

How about Weebly for Education? You can create an admin account and manage all the students websites from there as well as create users.

Thanks guys, Weebly looks the easiest for them. I do like the google one too.

 

thought about wordpress but don't fancy 60 installing 60 instances of it.

i had year 6 at a school writing webpages using notepad++ did a smart notebook file with examples and they picked it up pretty quickly and was getting asked all sorts of stuff by the end of the lesson

All my primary schools use Google sites. It fantastic, very very easy and free. It can do calendars, whats new, doc sharing etc. It's very flexible and ready to go in a few mins.

Have a nosey at Just2Easy. Its not free but has tonnes of different products that can be used across the curriculum.

Wordpress is pretty good, you can do multiple sites in one install so you can have school.sch.uk/year1 /year 2 /year 7 and so on as separate customisable sites.
