Free Resources from the Net for EVERY Learner

Welcome to this Treasure Chest of Free Stuff!

FREE online resources and downloadable programs for learners.

Thanks to a comment left by Karl Band, I’m writing a hasty follow up to yesterday’s post about Synthasite. Karl suggested that I check out Webnode as a more feature rich alternative. After examining Webnode in some detail, I am in complete agreement. If you are looking for an online means of creating a website, please check out Webnode.

Webnode is a free online service for creating and hosting websites that is rich in features. I don’t have time right now to use it to create a sample website, but I have spent enough time testing Webnode to recommend it. Not only does Webnode have a richer feature set, it is also considerably more veresatile and easier to work with than Synthasite. The user interface is powerful and intuitive.

Because I like to post video from sites such as Animoto and VoiceThread, I tested this on Webnode. I found it easier to embed them on Webnode than on Synthasite. The one possible advantage of Synthasite is that websites created there can easily be downloaded to be hosted on your own server.

In the interests of time, I’m taking a shortcut and including screenshots of what Webnode says about its own offerings. I have quickly tested many of these features and found them to work well.
