Wix, a leading industry host site, offers a free web designing tool for personal,
educational, and business related purposes.
Wix has a number of features that
create and manage information and communication on a computer or mobile device. This easy-to-use tool includes simple
ready-made templates and a drag-n-drop website builder. This site is great for people, such as
teachers and students, with little to no coding skills who want to create an efficient
website.
Some features are restricted to a basic account, but a
larger bandwidth and an ads free package are added to paying premium members. Teachers and students can still benefit from
the free, basic Wix package. Wix
provides creative designs, artistic features, personal blog features, and
business services. This can engage
students in online learning through publishing important documents, posting
important dates, posting materials to be used online, and improving
collaboration and communication outside the traditional classroom.
Teachers need to become more technologically skilled to meet
the needs of the 21st century student. Wix offers a way to provide education using technology without having to be technologically savvy. However, Wix does not offer a way in which teachers have administrative functions such as creating, managing, and monitoring student accounts and activity.
If a teacher requires a tool that offers basic web design and hosting, Wix may be the right internet tool to use. Otherwise, Wix would be more suitable for marketers and bloggers rather than educators.
