I have been using Roxer in my classroom for the past two years in my web site design class. It is a great way to introduce students to WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editing. The site offers many different options, including YouTube uploads, creative backgrounds, text and image design, and even a Google Calendar.
One of the best features is that students do not need an email address in order to create an account. I basically used the students' website topics for the web address. So, for example, one student created a site for a book report on Animal Farm: http://animalfarmhild.roxer.com
Here are some of my favorite student sites:
http://annie-cookies.roxer.com/ (History of Cookies)
http://cassandra-candy.roxer.com/ (History of Candy)
http://catherine-jk8.roxer.com/ (Jon and Kate + 8)
http://alli-broadway.roxer.com/ (Broadway)
http://moviemaking.roxer.com/ (Filmmaking)
