  Jimdo is used to create websites where teachers can post class pictures and videos, a calendar with weekly activities, and class news. It is a creative way for teachers to include parents in the child's educational life, and can also be used to foster parent-teacher communication through features such as a guestbook. Jimdo is easy to use and helps users get started by including an instructional video on its home page. One of the best aspects of Jimdo is that basic webpage designs are free. For $5.99 a month, users can upgrade to the business edition which includes more advanced features, but the basic webpage is appropriate for class websites. The basic edition allows for text, photo, video, and other input. To include young children in the actual designing of the site, the teacher would need to provide direct guidance. The best way to do this would be to allow the children to pick out photos and videos and narrate what text should be included on the website. This would eliminate children's frustration and confusion over navigation, but still familiarize them with websites and encourage their use of technology.
