What is Wakelet? 

⚠️ You don’t have to be a teacher to benefit from this tool ⚠️

Put simply, Wakelet is the hip version of Pinterest! It allows you or your students to curate collections of things that you find on the internet - URLs, YouTube Videos, Tweets, Bookmarks, images, PDFs, items from your Google/One Drive...you can even add your own Flipgrid video into the mix! Another simple, yet powerful, tool for the blended learning classroom! 

It might be a way of making extended research projects more interactive, social and engaging, but there are also LOTS of different ways that you could use this in your classroom. List below! ⬇️

For inspiration, be sure to check out Holly Clark’s How to Use Wakelet in The Classroom as well the brilliant Jake Miller’s 19 Ways to Use Wakelet Spaces in Your School or Class!
