Wakelet Professional Development

Presented by Wakelet


Wakelet has established itself as one of education's most versatile content curation platforms, and this professional development resource helps educators unlock its full potential for teaching, learning, and collaboration. At its core, Wakelet allows users to bookmark, organise, and present content from across the web in visually appealing collections—but its educational applications extend far beyond simple bookmarking. Teachers use Wakelet to create curated resource libraries for students, build interactive lesson materials, facilitate collaborative research projects, and showcase student work in digital portfolios. The platform's intuitive interface makes it accessible to educators regardless of their technical confidence, while its collaborative features enable real-time teamwork between students and across teaching teams. This professional development explores how to harness Wakelet's capabilities strategically, moving beyond basic collection-building to create truly purposeful learning experiences. Whether you're looking to organise your own professional resources, create shareable curriculum materials, or give students a platform for curating and presenting their learning, Wakelet offers a flexible, free tool that adapts to virtually any educational context.
