[ISLMA-Share] Best platforms??

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Hi Kristen ... and others :)

A few things came to mind that I think could work ...

   - Google sites (the new google sites is really sleek looking and easy to
   use)
   - A blog
   - Weebly
   - Padlet

all of ones listed above could accommodate links, pictures, and video - not
sure about chat -- maybe on the google site? But you could also incorporate
something like Today's Meet in any of them to easily incorporate chat/back
channel discussion.

Schoology is great too - I am not sure what is offered in the free version
though.

Hope this helps! :)
