website builder for grade 5s
Hey 2.0ers,
I'm working with a grade five class studying an integrated media and social studies unit. I had a student tell me that she wants to create a website for her project. I think it's a great idea, but I'm not sure which tools she should use to build her site. I immediately thought wordpress as I'm very familiar with it. But even I find it a bit frustrating at times. Any other suggestions for a simple website builder for kids - it doesn't have to be a blog engine, just simple website with links and images.
All suggestions welcome.
Thanks.
