Advantages - Disadvantages • Offers consistent format on all ESASD pages • Every teacher can edit their own page/space • No need for specialized programming to create/maintain the site • Instant updates • Offers the same cookie cutter format on ESASD pages • Every teacher is supposed to be responsible for their own page • Lacks creative input teachers and students like • Students no longer publish to the site
