According to Education Elements, “A playlist is a sequence of resources and/or activities for students to complete” and “This allows the teacher to direct students without having to be present”.

Why Should I Use Playlists with my Students?

Cult of Pedagogy states, “With playlists, the responsibility for executing the learning plan shifts: Students are given the unit [lesson, activity, etc] plan, including access to all the lessons, ahead of time. With the learning plan in hand, students work through the lessons and assignments at their own pace.”

A Playlist can be used to:

Help maintain skills that students are learning in the classroom

Check for understanding

Assign independent work or group activities

Individualize assignments for students
