Wakelet for student blogs

Wakelet is a versatile tool. Here is my summary of a recommendation I saw on the Ditch the Textbook blog. Jon Fortnoy notes that while older students can have their own Wakelet accounts this is not appropriate for students until they are older than 13. Fortnoy’s idea is that the teacher with a Wakelet account can create a Wakelet collection for each student and add individual students as a contributor to that personal collection. Once a collection has been created, one button will generate the URL for sharing and another button for inviting contributors.

The URL for sharing this collection would not allow access to others. A separate document shared among students and perhaps parents (e.g,. a class Google doc) would allow viewing of the collections.

For example, here is a shared collection from my Wakelet account. You can view this collection, but would have to be able to signin to modify youself
