J2webby provides your school with its very own blog site, allowing you to showcase your pupils' fantastic work.
Introduction to j2webby
When you open j2webby, you’ll land on your school’s Webby front page.
By default, this page displays your school’s name and address (these can be customised).
Across the top of the page, a navigation bar provides links to different areas of J2webby.
Posts or Pages?
J2webby allows you to create both pages and posts, each serving a different purpose:
Pages – Contain "one-off" or static information that rarely changes. Examples include "About Us" or "Contact Us". The homepage in j2webby is also a page.
Posts – These are your blog entries: dynamic, regularly updated content. Each class has its own j2webby blog, where teachers and pupils can create posts.
Adding a Post in j2webby
Work can be added to j2webby directly within the platform or by publishing from other Just2easy tools.
To create a post within j2webby:
Open the class blog you want to post to (e.g. Class 1).
Click the "New" button, then select "Add Post".
Add a title and content for your post.
Assign the post to the appropriate blog(s).
Click Publish.
Publishing Work from J2e Tools
Most Just2easy tools, such as JIT, j2create and j2pdf, allow direct publishing to j2webby.
Once the work is complete, click the Publish button, which will look like one of these:
Select the blog to publish to.
Click Publish to j2webby.
Tip: Class blogs are automatically created, but they only become visible once a pupil publishes work. If a class blog isn’t visible, ask a pupil to publish a piece of work, and it will appear.
Moderating a Blog Post
When pupils submit work, it goes through a moderation process. Teachers are notified when posts or comments require moderation.
You’ll see:
A notification tile on your launchpad, and
A notification in MyFiles.
To moderate:
Open the class blog requiring moderation.
The moderation screen will appear, allowing you to preview, publish, delete, or review submitted work.
