Instruction - School Coordinators
Each school coordinator will create one Weebly (free version- free choice of template) per project. Example http://eumindtest.weebly.com. This demo site shows what the Weebly of Willem van Oranje College for the 3Generations project would look like. The school coordinator
will create the accounts of the student editors. Each group has one editor. These editors will get access with admin rights.
