Comments on Wakelet
“I use Wakelet to archive work materials, I use it to create teaching units and topics, it is very clear to me and I like to use it” Regina Vukasović, Biology and Chemistry teacher, Croatia, 2021
“Wakelet is a fine tool for blogging with a focus on resources on the web. Can also be used by groups. Use at university is also possible, just make sure that no sensitive data are shared.” Andrea Ghoneim, eDeveloper & support for digital teaching. Austria, 2021
“I LOVE Wakelet and fingers cross hope to be one of its ambassadors for curating. I use the app to integrate into Teams. Rival over time I can see it being MS Edge Collections but this is still early days yet. Wakelet for now is a brilliant content and curation tool.” Helen Blunden, Community Manager, Australia, 2020
“Although I just started to use it I seems like a nice social bookmark to collect different type of digital content and share with others.” Ana María Rodríguez Hinestroza, Learning strategist, Colombia, 2020
“Storify died, but Wakelet arose. New capacity being added regularly including Flipgrid. This is a beautiful way to gather and share information. I introduce my students to it in the Fall of their freshman years and they rave about how they are always using it in their other classes.” Terry Elliott, Instructor/Faculty Development, USA
“I am using Wakelet to save links to various articles for future reference and sharing.” Steve Batchelder, Learning and Development Officer, UK, 2020
“Good collaborative tool, easy to use and visually engaging.” Eunice, Adlut Educator, Singapore, 2020
