Otter

Otter is a neat little site that I just found out about from Free Technology 4 Teachers for creating a teacher webspace/page to host information for students.  This site allows educators to create a space where they can create events, add them to calendar, share announcements, and upload files/homework.  While it might not be as robust as other sites like Weebly or Wix, it does create a nice place to create an online syllabus.

I highly recommend checking out Otter by clicking here!!!

Scroll Kit

Scroll Kit is a nice site from creating a website from scratch.  What is nice that SK provides a blank canvas for a user to do whatever they want such as: draw, add tables, images, text, video, etc.  Once a page is created it can then be shared w/ others via unique URL.

Thanks to Free Technology 4 Teachers for the tip.

Zoho Sites

Zoho Sites is a new site by the creators of the Zoho Suite (online learning tools) that allows users to create free web pages.  This is ideal for educators and is a nice alternative to Google Sites/Weebly/etc.  Also, ZS is very easy to use, has stunning looking themes/templates (Blue Fume rocks!!), and even allows for blogging.  (FYI, a paid PRO account offers for more features).

PageOrama

PageOrama is a site I found out about from Larry Ferlazzo's blog.  This is a nice site for easily and quickly creating a web page.  A user can add links and photos (doesn't look like u can add videos) and then publish a site w/ a click of a button.

Jux

Jux is a site I just found out about from Larry Ferlazzo's excellent blog, for creating websites. This is done w/ a nice drag-n-drop interface. Also, Jux has some nice features such as being able to copy a site to use as a template to create your own. Also, you can work in code for the more advanced user. Finally, Jux has a nice community to share comments and resources w/ others.

I recommend giving Jux a try by clicking here!!

Top 10 Website Creators

Having a website for a teacher is an ideal way to share information w/ parents and the community. Not only does this facilitate collaboration but it can help teachers improve their own technology proficiency. Most districts have some sort of preset application that staff uses for creating a website but for those that do not I have compiled my top sites for creating a website. Keep in mind that most website creators are free but for a fee can increase the options that they have as well as the ability to eliminate ads etc.
