Introduction
Wakelet is a tool that allows users to curate the content that interests and motivates them. Wakelet users can save content and organize it into folders or wakes (e.g., student portfolios). It bridges the gap between humans and algorithms to curate beautiful and functional content in a personalized way. Wakelet is a great alternative to Pallet or Storey. You and your students can curate videos, photos, links and more. If you're struggling to tell stories that are engaging, organized, and inspiring, Wakelet can be beneficial because it allows users to curate custom content. It's also a great tool for keeping research projects interactive and social.
What is Wakelet?
Wakelet is a digital curation tool that allows users to collect and organize multimodal content, including websites, articles, videos, Twitter threads, text and images. Wakelet is a great tool for students to organize collaborative research projects and develop their knowledge. It can also be used as a multi-modal way to present a timeline or story.
Advocate and SAMR model
Dir. Ruben Ponte Dora's SAMR model exemplifies the integration of technology into teaching. This model is an attempt to demonstrate more meaningful use of technology in the classroom rather than "tech for tech's sake." As you try to incorporate online tools into your classroom, we encourage you to use this model as an analytical tool. Here's an example of how Wakelet might fit into the SAMR model:
Editing: Students edit information and resources on a specific topic on Wakelet and share it widely through social media for feedback. Students critically analyse materials and research to create an archive for discussion. New Definition: Students have access to real-time collaboration on multimodal content duration. Often, technology is used as a direct substitute for other low-tech tools (e.g., pencil and paper). Although alternatives have some advantages (for example, students develop their technology skills and knowledge), we encourage you to think about how you can modify or reinterpret learning. How to use Wakelet.

Learning Activities
Calculate the number of Wakelets related to a topic. Create a Wakelet with content that helps students learn, practice, and test math skills. Design a wake for a math topic, process, or mathematician.
Do accurate research on a scientific topic (for example, #climate change). Learn how to experiment by researching and collecting videos. Ask local scientists to add resources to a shared class week.
How do I use Pallet to teach?
Pallet is a versatile and intuitive virtual poster board that can be shared with your students either in class or as an extension of their learning. Currently, the most common uses for teaching and learning are: discussion board; The tutor asks a question and all students answer. class blog; To share research, feedback, or questions about assignments. Group portfolio; Students post their work for peer review e.g. Mood board. group exercise; Teams are given different themes to research and record their findings on a pallet, then share a face-to-face presentation with the whole class.
