The goal of the next few steps is to create a standard template using the WEEBLY drag-and-drop tools to get you familiar with the system we are building for the INNOVATION PORTAL.    Like  a science fair presentation board, all judges, and reviewers  will be counting on seeing work organized in the exact  same format described below.

     If you have any questions about obtaining your own class account or building this template, please email the Innovation Portal Project Director, Mark Schroll at  [email protected]

STEP 1:
Make sure your teacher  has given you  a WEEBLY account with your  username and password.

Login to your new account at http://students.weebly.com/

( If you are a teacher and do not yet have a "teacher/ account to be able to created student accounts, please contact Mark Schroll  at [email protected])

STEP 2:
Open a SECOND browser window so that you can go back and forth from your account to this guide.
Picture
STEP 3:
In your account browser window...Click "New Site"

Picture
STEP 4:
Enter a title for your website. Use something descriptive and logical, like “Fred Garcia’s EDD Project”.  You can change this anytime if necessary.

  You can leave the "Type of Site" blank for now and change it later. Click Continue
Picture
NOTE: After clicking continue you will be asked to create a "link name” for your site that will end in ".weebly.com".  This will be the web address assigned to your site.  Be professional, descriptive and relatively short. (you won't be able to change this later) Use just letters, no spaces, hyphens, periods or underscores. This is the only chance you will have to create your link name, so choose carefully!

Step 8:

Click the  orange PUBLISH button to save and publish your website. (Remember  your work will be password protected so you are only creating a site that you can see)  The first time you do this you will be asked to create a "link name” for your site if you were not asked after entering your project title. ( See the note after step 4)

Step 9:
              That is it for the template.

  Now it’s time to experiment with all the tools available to add content to the different pages of your website.  Remember, anytime you’ve added content to your site, be sure to click the PUBLISH button to save and publish (to a password protected site) what you added.
