As someone who had an education startup in the past, I think this will be big for Weebly. Teachers are very vocal/social, so if a few fall in love with it and spread the word, it could grow fast.
I'm not too familiar with Weebly's current feature-set but if they added (or simply re-named) a feature that was teacher-specific and pain-reducing, it would probably help even more.
As a high school student, I find it somewhat discouraging that Weebly's the only way to make a website for National History Day - what about people that know HTML and CSS inside out and would prefer coding it by hand to creating a site with Weebly?
You can do that too -- Weebly has "Advanced Editing" functionality to let you fully customize the HTML/CSS of your site, and a "Custom HTML" element to let you place any HTML snippet directly on your page -- everything is fully customizable.
It is great to see Weebly entering the education space. I am tired of blackboard. Education and health care space are notoriously difficult for startups to enter for various reasons. I wonder what is Weekly's strategy for dealing with issues that make so many previous Learning management system startups fail.
