Websites are easier to create than ever — and more attractive, too.

Websites are highly organizational tools. Pull information together in sub-pages with headings. By organizing information for your readers, you're also organizing it and making sense of it for yourself.

Suggested tools: Google sites, Microsoft Sway or others of your choosing.

Demonstration on a website

Flipping through presentation slides

Going on a virtual walking tour of a classroom

… and many, many more.

Suggested tool: Screencastify (Google Chrome) and the Flipgrid screencasting option (web browser)

Curation is defined as “the action or process of selecting, organizing, and looking after the items in a collection or exhibition.”

The Internet is ever-growing. Our problem isn’t a lack of information or access. It’s trying to choose carefully from more resources than we could ever consume.

In short: curation is a valuable tool for the future.

Instead of creating, curate. Gather the best resources from the web that represent what you've learned.

And after gathering them, annotate them — write short descriptions of why these are good resources, why they represent what you've learned, how what you've learned fits.

Suggested tool: Wakelet or Diigo

Resources: try searching "12 curation ideas for students AND teacher with Wakelet."

There is a story in anything. Our brains love stories. It’s how we passed information down through the generations in history.

Instead of relaying lots of facts, put them into a story. Frame information through the story of someone who would use them. Or tell the story of someone who went through what you just studied (maybe even through the perspective of a student in your class.)

Storytelling techniques are powerful. Consider using vivid language. Pauses. Gestures. Quotes and dialogue.

Suggested tool: Storybird, Book Creator, or Google Slides/Drawings

Resources: Look for "Pixar's 10 rules for teaching and lesson planning."

Explainer videos are all over the Internet and YouTube. We love a good, short, clear explainer video.

Many of them include sketching and simple images.

Many of them aren’t more than a minute or two.

With some of the free explainer video tools out there, create short videos that demonstrate what you've learned. You can create voice-overs where you explain what’s being displayed on the screen.

Suggested tool: Powtoon or MySimpleShow
