Essential Tech Tools
Byte-Sized Ed Tech Update: Actively Learn
How many times have you found yourself looking for articles and resources to share with students and then try to figure out time to make copies or setting it up in Google Classroom and grading them? We want to share a tool that can help with this problem and so much more. Actively Learn is a website with curated core content articles that contain pre-embedded questions. Students can take notes, have articles read, translate, and so much more. Teachers can import their own content such as videos, PDF's, and Google Docs and then create their own questions. We are just scratching the surface with this tool so please watch the video below to learn more about Actively Learn. The site will allow you to create a free account but you will be limited to 3 imports per month and have fewer access to content.This tool recommended for Grades 5 and up.
