During the latest days off due to cold/snow I caught up with some of the latest podcasts. During The Google Teacher Tribe's January 28, 2019 episode-App Smashing with G Suite I learned about this newer tool Wakelet.
You as a teacher can use this tool this year, if you want students they need to be 13 or have a permission slip according to their Terms of Conditions. If this is a tool that you may want to use with your students you can still fill out the Web 2.0 permission form.
What is it?
It is a digital curation tool. You can add multiple articles, images, videos, etc. to one page (or wake) and share one page on your Google Classroom. Create a wake for each unit of study or for a research project.You as a teacher can use this tool this year, if you want students they need to be 13 or have a permission slip according to their Terms of Conditions.

Resources
- Wakelet Help Tutorials-this is a super informative playlist on how to access the different features of Wakelet. I know many times it is easier for me to see and hear someone else do it before attempting to do it myself.
- 12 Curation Ideas for Teachers and Students- from Matt Miller's Ditch that Textbook Blog is another great resource for finding ways to use it in your classroom and have students use it.
