100,000 Teachers Can't Be Wrong!

Over 100,000 teachers use Blendspace to help them organize their resources.

As you plan your units for the upcoming school year, take a look at Blendspace (formerly called Edcanvas). This neat site can be used by teachers to help organize resources for a unit. For example, I created a page (called a canvas) for a unit on drawing underwater portraits. The canvas contains links to videos, Wikipedia pages, art images, photos of scuba gear, and an closeup picture of a child wearing a dive mask.  All of these links were found by using the search tool within the Blendspace site. It took me less than 5 minutes to find these resources! When teaching the unit, I just pull up my canvas and all of my resources are shown on one page.

Students over 13 can also use Blendspace to create their own canvases to help them organize resources. Their Google accounts will work as their log-in.

If you haven't tried it out, try it today! You can log in with your Google account, a Facebook account (if you have one for school - please don't use your personal Facebook account for school), or create an account with Blendspace.
