Wakelet is a curation tool that allows you to save items (anything with a link), organize them, tell stories, and share content from around the web (Kathleen Morris, 2019). Curation, evaluating resources, and collaboration are necessary skills for our students.
It will help you understand more about what Wakelet is if you look at a collection. Here's a one on (drum roll please . . . đ„ ) WAKELET! Check out these resources, many of which have been written for K-12, but that doesn't mean that they can't be used in higher education. It's a great way for students to keep up with their research and they can work together in groups to find and organize their information. Their curated information can then be put into a Google Site, a research paper, a presentation, or a digital magazine as a way for them to show what they have learned. Here's another one that you can actually add to!
Wakelets can be private, unlisted (only people with the link can find it), or public, where anyone can find it when searching the web. It's easy to get a link to share a collection or add collaborators. Wakelets are an easy to share resources with students, differentiate learning, create digital portfolios, and more.
Watch as Holly Clark (she's amazing) shows how to use Wakelet in the Classroom.
