Roxer is a pretty darn easy way to make a webpage. You basically put your content, including images off the web, into boxes and move them around.
I’m not sure if you can create a finished product that is comparable to some of the other website-makers out there (Paul Hamilton recently reviewed one of them called Webnode) , but Roxer would certainly be accessible to English Language Learners. Many of the other “easy” ones, I think, are just too complicated for English Language Learners.
I’d say Tumblr is still the easiest and best platform to display student work online, but Roxer is close behind it.
I’ve placed the link to Roxer on my Teacher’s Page under Website Development. You’ll find links to quite a few other website-builders there, too.
Hi Larry,
Thanks for the post! The idea of people using Roxer for educational purposes really caught us of guard, but it’s something we’re certainly exploring. Funny, one of our users actually made his whole book report w/ Roxer – complete with maps, chapters, images, and a even a YouTube movie.
Thanks again!
