Wakelet is a content curation platform where teachers and students can save links, social media posts, videos, and images as items to later be organized into private or public collections. Users can add notes to each Item in order to tell a story, ask questions, or give directions. Educators can use Wakelet to collate resources for lectures, seminars and classes. Each class collection can include links to reference materials, videos, podcasts and images, and you can add notes to guide the flow of the lesson or ask thought-provoking questions of your students. Think of Wakelet as a teacher's bookmark manager that includes everything you ever wanted from the web - that can then be shared! Wakelet is available on desktop computers, tablets, Chromebooks, and phones.

Students must be 13 years old to create their own Wakelet account. However, for students younger than 13, teachers can import students from their Google Classroom and students will have a sub account under their teacher's name (see steps below).
