Emerging Technologies:Weebly and Wallwisher
By: Nikki
Weebly. What am I?
I was born in San Francisco in 2006. My investors are Ron Conway (original
investor in Google), Mike Maples, Aydin Senkut, Rajeev Motwani and Paul Buchheit (creator of Gmail).
I help people put information on-line easily and quickly.
Currently…
3 million people use me. I was named one of the 50 best
websites in 2007 in magazine.
Responsibilty goes to…
In the beginning of 2007, the Weebly founding team joined a seed funding program called Y Combinator.
Y Combinator has funded startups, such as Clustrix, Scribd, Weebly, Songkick, Dropbox, WePay, Bump, and many more.› We do this twice a year. On average =
$18k.
Prices …
There is a free version (which is what I used).
There is a pro account which costs…› $4.58/month for 6 months› $3.99/month for 1 year› $2.99/month for 2 years (which is a 25%
discount)
Classroom use …
You create a blog/website. You can post information about your
class, projects, assignments, etc. Parents can join so they can keep up

A new way to communicate! Sticky notes are used. My parent is SharedCopy. I was born in 2008. Nitesh is the only true member, but… There are others, such as Tejas Kumar
Viswanath , Pranav Piyush, Mark James, and Choon Keat.
As of now …
In 2009, Wallwisher came back to life after hiding out for about a year.
Their FAQ page is pretty funny.
The Responsible party is …
SharedCopy. But the main creator is Nitesh.
The Price =
32*2 – 16*4 = $0 Or 64 - 64 = $0
From: How much does it cost?
How can I use this in my classroom?
This can be used as a bulletin board, just on-line.
There are sticky notes. Parents, Students (depending on grade
level), and fellow teachers can use this. Homework reminders, projects, parent-
teacher conferences, etc…
