Using the Weebly website as suggested in the week 3 learning activities, I developed my own website. In the initial stages, the site linked to some wonderful literacy resources including authors talking about their books, their inspiration and giving advice to children. I added a Book Club to the side focusing on a particular book and author including teacher resources and websites with a similar theme to the book. I linked to Aquinas College which has some great ideas for 'Book Trailers' and author comments and book reviews by children of my Book Club book. Story Starters by Scholastic is a wonderful game for stimulating writing tasks for P-6.

I found using Weebly very fiddly and went into editing the html is some places. However, once it is set up I think the website will very useful to access your favourite resources. A swot analysis is available on my wiki.
I would definitely use my own website in a classroom, and have seen in my local school that each classroom has its own personalised website.
