AASL released its list of Best Digital Tools for Teaching and Learning 2021! This year’s list took into special consideration how well these tools work for remote/distance students. The resources enhance learning and encourage the following qualities:
- Innovation/Creativity
- Active Participation
- Collaboration
- User-Friendly
- Encourages Exploration
- Information/Reference
We share these resources every year and you can explore our archive of past recommendations here.
Untold provides FREE videos (with a new one released every week!) with the goal to:
- “shine a light on the stories that don’t always make it into the classroom
- and question what we think we know about those that do.” The videos feature cool animations and invite students (and adults) to learn more while considering historical events and the way history is told.
Untold features “short, compelling, history videos and animations designed to engage new audiences in a new conversation and shine a light on the stories that don’t always make it into the classroom and question what we think we know about those that do. Not everything worth knowing exists inside the cover of our history textbooks. Untold is here to fill in the gaps and bring new stories to life.”
Grades: Upper Primary/High School
Untold’s website and Youtube site are full of quick, informative videos about particular people from history we may not have learned about in school.
