Instructions for students for Eumind projects on Weebly
Dear students,
You will work in groups of 5 students on your topic.
Only one of you will have the role of editor. The editor is the only one who has access to the Weebly and he/she will publish the results of your group work on the Weebly project site.
The instructions and examples on this demo site are especially for students who are editor.
Each group will have only 1 page on the Weebly site.
It means that you publish on 1 page:
1. the presentation of the group
2. the research
3. evidence of communication
4. comparison and reflection
This format applies to almost all projects. Exceptions are On stage, Arts and Human Rights literature projects. .
Important: before you publish e.g. your group presentation on Weebly, you have to collect all the materials: photos, text, maybe video.
If you want to use videos, you will have to upload them to YouTube, so that you can embed them in your page.
Same for publishing research: prepare all materials: texts in word doc or pdf (don't upload ppt because they will only be visible for visitors of your page after downloading.
BACKUP. Take care to keep all photos and texts so that you can easily restore your page if something goes wrong. Make some screenshots of your page, so that it would be easier to fix it if you delete content by accident.
Warning: we use the free version of Weebly. It means that the editors who have access have admin rights. Technically it is possible for you to edit other pages in your Weebly project site and to add pages. Please only edit the page that your teacher has created for your group.
Step 1 Log in
Your teacher will prepare a Weebly site and will send an invitation mail to the mail address of the editor of each group of his/her own school.
The teacher will create 1 page for your group. Please don't create more pages, use only that 1 page.
NOTE: invitation mails come directly from Weebly. It often happens that it doesn't come into your default In folder. Please check spam folder and other folders (in gmail there are separate In folders for Social media / advertisement etc).
