Facilitator Resource Evaluation

Wakelet.com is a website that allows the user to save web content as well as text and images in an easy-to-use and graphically pleasing format. You can save bookmarked websites, videos, tweets and other content in collections. It’s a combination of a browser’s bookmarking feature and a library with the ability to add text and images to tell the story of why you are saving those sites. You can create collections to organize related items. You can keep your collection private or make it public and share it with others to collaborate on your chosen topic.

This site is amazing and I would give it a 10 on a 1-10 scale. It allows you to create a visually pleasing portfolio of information that you can share with a class or coworkers. You could use this instead of practice sheets or anytime you want to collate certain information for users. You can also use it for a productivity tool to keep all of your resources on a topic in one place.

This site aligns with the ISTE standard of facilitator by letting the learner explore content in a non-linear manner and decide what items to view, thus taking ownership of their learning. The users can easily navigate the platform, add web content or use it as a guide for outside problem solving, depending on the content the collection contains. It’s geared toward any school-age or older audience so could be effective both in a school or worksite.
