Weebly for Education is a free website and platform learning tool for teachers and students. It was founded in 2006 by San Francisco California based Company. The purpose of this website is to help teachers and their students put their information quickly and easily  online. People can also create a website blog for free. It allows teachers to set up an account that gives access to up to 40 students where students log in which is assigned by a teacher.  Teachers are in control over which websites are public or private, and which students can edit. When exploring more on this site, teachers can post class updates, homework, assignments, and news for parents using the blogging features. In addition to these available tools, you can also power your sites with elements like photos, maps, videos, and text by simply dragging and dropping them into a place. The drag and drop website builder is also easy to create. Additionally,  you can always edit the text. There is also a mobile apps where you can build and manage your website from your devices.
            The additional features include video backgrounds, Full Width Image & Color Backgrounds, and Customs Headers. In the video backgrounds you can choose from Weebly's video library or upload your own video. The Full Width Image & Color Backgrounds, you can add variety and customization by stacking independent sections into your page layout. All these features will be attractive or enhance your viewers if you add more on these feature elements.

Teacher Tube
Teacher Tube is a video sharing website launched by Jason Smith on March 6, 2007..  There are free accessible classroom resources, educational videos, and audios for all subjects for students and teachers to view in order to learn a concept or skill. Teacher Tube tells the grade level for the videos that are shared. The videos are engaging for learners. I like that it is free for signing up to be a member. By signing up on Teacher Tube, you can upload your own video and educational songs which you can share worldwide for free and will enhance student learning. Teacher Tube is a safe site for teachers, schools, and home school children. The members are encourage to not only upload educational relevant videos. Users have ability to preserve the integrity of the site by flagging videos that are inappropriate. The service is free for anyone who sign up or explore. All these resources are free to watch and is more interactive and enhancing for teachers and learners.

 Prezi is a website for creating presentations. You can add videos from YouTube, images, or make presentations private or public. There are tutorial sections to navigate. Prezi is almost like Microsoft PowerPoint where you can personalize the fonts, color, or to format your presentations. It also has zoom in and zoom out buttons and with a click you can zoom right in on it. What interests me about this website is that there are options to edit and present offline. Prezi for Windows/Mac allows me to download my presentations so that I could present offline.
