🔎 SPOTLIGHT SPONSOR 🔎

Collaborative, Creative, Curated Learning with Wakelet

Wakelet is the place where everything happens for so many classrooms, students, and teachers.

Create collections in Wakelet — for an assignment, for a group project, for a classroom unit, or even for a year-long learning portfolio (like the image above).

Students can add, organize, and share with each other — or with the world.

Students and teachers use Wakelet to:

• Share teaching resources with colleagues

• Share learning resources with students

• Keep parents updated on the classroom with newsletters

• Recommend books to check out from the library (like the image below)

Oh, and Wakelet plays well with other apps! If you create something in Canva, Edpuzzle, Book Creator, even Spotify — students can seamlessly pull those creations into a Wakelet collection.

In this Spotlight Sponsor Session, Wakelet’s Misbah Gedal shares more than a DOZEN classroom examples of how Wakelet gets students creating and sharing digitally. (FYI: You can access and browse all of them here.)

🎁 BONUS: You can get 20% off a full Wakelet Pro account to unlock everything! Just use the code DITCH20 at checkout.

📺 CATEGORY COLLECTIONS 📺

🧠 Watch videos about instructional design and pedagogy

Sometimes, the terms “instructional design” and “pedagogy” don’t make us teachers jump up and get excited.

But the ideas in the videos in this Category Collection?

They’re effective. They’re things you can use in class right away.

Don’t be fooled. This isn’t high-level education theory mumbo jumbo. It’s the good stuff.

Here’s what’s in our Category Collection on instructional design and pedagogy:

Practical, Powerful, Pedagogically-charged Teaching with Jennifer Gonzalez — Jennifer Gonzalez is the editor in chief of the Cult of Pedagogy, a well respected podcast and educator brand that shares practical tips to make you a better educator. In this session, she shares some of her go-to practices.

Using Powerful Teaching to Remember to Thrive with Pooja Agarwal and Patrice Bain — If your students struggle to remember (and you have to reteach and reteach), you’re not alone. Thankfully, brain science tells us how the brain prefers to learn. In this session, authors Dr. Pooja Agarwal and Patrice Bain share strategies.

Transformational Learning Space Design with Rebecca Hare — You might not think about your classroom design as part of learning, but it plays a part! In this session, author Rebecca Hare shares how you can optimize the space in your classroom to help students thrive.
