What Makes a Good Educational Website for Teachers? 5 Signs of Quality
1. Research- or experience-based content . Perhaps the number one sign of quality within online educational websites is the presence of either scholarly research or professional, direct experience. Avoid sites that were not designed by academics, administrators, educational organizations, publications, or, of course, teachers themselves. After all, the people who know the most about a given profession are always those that work within it.
2. Variety . As you probably already know, teaching is such a complex and challenging line of work, so the best way to approach it is by engaging with a diverse range of perspectives. Sites that profess to have the way are probably a no-go. Look for websites and online resources that offer a wide and broad variety of advice, experience, and knowledge to enrich your own perspective.
3. Concrete examples . Do you remember that old creative writing proverb, “show, don’t tell”? Well the same goes for educational websites. Look for sites that contain concrete examples of lesson plans, assessments, class-wide discussion questions, and forms of feedback. Sites that merely tell you about something can be helpful to get started, but spend most of your time on sites which include concrete examples.
4. Engagement with technology and multimedia content. Though writing will always remain a reliable form of communication, we currently live in an ever-evolving media-saturated world where our understanding of the technologies before us are as vital as our mastery of written communication. Therefore, the online sources you use should at least address technology, visual media, and other non-written forms of communication. Technology, whether we like it or not is embedded within the fabric of 21st-century culture, so it’s best we all begin to master it.
5. Passion. Last but not least, look for sources that are brimming with passion. Whether you’re reading a more pedantic article on legislation and education policy or skimming through a teacher’s daily blog, look for online resources that care . They don’t necessarily need to be jumping up and down with joy per se, but you should be able to tell that the site’s heart is in the right place. There’s no point in spending time with resources that lack energy or drive, so spend your time with websites that demonstrate passion.
3 Reasons Why You Should Use Websites to Support Your Classroom
1. A diversity of perspectives. Perhaps the biggest reason we consult online resources is to learn something new, to gain insight, and to be inspired by someone or something else other than our daily experience. Simply put, online educational websites allow us to collaborate, and the success of education depends on teachers at large rather than the individual educator. A diversity of perspectives enriches your own pedagogy.
2. Efficiency. Educational websites undoubtedly make your workday much, much more efficient. Instead of pulling out your hair trying to create the perfect lesson plan or end-of-course assessment, use the web to find tips, tricks, and other examples. The Internet has accelerated pretty much every aspect of society, so it’s no surprise that it can also strengthen your efficiency.
3. The feeling of solidarity. Let’s face it: teaching can often be a very difficult and even disheartening profession. Thus, it is imperative you don’t go at it totally alone. Scanning online teacher blogs, reading about education policy, or watching a teacher’s vlog generates feelings of solidarity and companionship that are vital to becoming a successful educator. The right educational website can truly work wonders on your professional and personal psyche.
Wrapping Things Up: 75 Educational Websites for Teachers
The internet is brimming with so many online teaching websites that it can feel overwhelming and downright impossible choosing the best teacher resources to integrate into your own pedagogy!
That’s why we’ve compiled this list of educational websites for the classroom—to point you in the right direction and to save you time.
From the topical lesson plans over at The New York Times Learning Network to Marie Morris’s exciting educational vlog to Albert’s very own content reviews, teacher resources, and assessments, this definitive list of online educational websites for teachers encompasses the best sources on the web to enrich your skills as an educator and inspire you to new heights.

11 Fantastic Online Writing Tools for Free in 2022
by Suzanne Davis | Feb 10, 2022 | Writing Resources , Writing Technology
“ Suzanne, I have the perfect online writing tool for you.”
I receive many emails from people telling me about an excellent new app, tool, or website for writers or students. And since I tutor academic writing online, I try all kinds of writing tools and resources to see how they work, and experiment. My goal? Find things that make the academic writing process easier and improve the quality of an essay, paper, or another project.
Only a small number of resources and websites are my go-to choices because I’m looking for online writing tools that make your writing life simpler. I don’t want to recommend online tools that are challenging to manage and require a lot of training to use. The writing process doesn’t need to be harder.
Today, I’m sharing my top 11 online writing tools for free that will help you achieve your writing goals.
Let’s look at how they can help you.
11 Online Writing Tools for Free in 2022
Online Tools for the Writing Process
#1 jamboard for prewriting.
Jamboard https://jamboard.google.com/ Jamboard is a Google Extension you can use to help you develop and plan out your writing ideas. It is perfect for prewriting because you can brainstorm and organize ideas using “sticky notes.” There are 2 ways I use Jamboard for writing.
The first way is to come up with writing ideas. To do this, start with an open-ended question like: What can I write? Type every idea you have on an electronic sticky note. You can change the color and size of the sticky notes and move them around in any order. Here’s an example of a Jamboard with my ideas for writing a personal narrative.
Jamboard example for Brainstorming Writing Ideas
The second prewriting activity you can use Jamboard for is to develop ideas on a topic. You can use the boards for creating blog posts or essay content. Create sticky notes for main ideas using one color; then, add supporting details to each of those main ideas on sticky notes of a different color.
Here’s an example of some ideas I have for a blog post. You can see all my supporting details are in yellow, and my main topics are in aqua.
Jamboard Example for Writing Organization
There are other fun things you can do, such as change the background color and draw a line with a pen. Jamboard is simple to use, flexible, and creative.
#2 Internet Archive for Online Research
Internet Archive https://archive.org/ is an online public library with free books, videos, articles, websites, and audio files. It has millions of sources from libraries all over the world. You can find excellent credible primary and secondary sources.
Type into the search bar your topic, title, or author, or perform an advanced search where you can specify the words contained, date range, author, and types of media. This screenshot shows you results for the search term “Kennedy Assassination.”
Internet Archive Search Results for the “Kenned y Assassination.”
I use Internet Archive to find a lot of sources for teaching and writing. My students love using it for research because they have access to many different types of media. When I create Google Classrooms for my students, I always include Internet Archive as a top resource.
#3 Google Docs for Writing and Revising
Google Docs https://docs.google.com/ is similar to MS Word when it comes to composing, revising, editing, and publishing writing. In Google Docs you can write, comment, and edit a document with other people at the same time.
You can use Google Docs with every aspect of writing, from brainstorming to publishing a final draft. In this image, you can see the menu and document and comment on the side.
Google Docs Example
Since you can share a document with another person via a link or email, writing is interactive. Another feature of Google Docs is that it is easy to download a file in a PDF or MS Word format (which is handy when you need to submit a piece of writing as an MS Word or PDF document).
#4 Google Classroom for Collaboration and Writing Groups
Google Classroom https://classroom.google.com / has been a favorite tool of mine ever since it was available to anyone with a Google Account. Before 2017, you could only use Google Classroom if your school district used it.
Since anyone with a Google account can create a classroom, writing groups can use a Google Classroom to share resources organized by topics and add writing for others to read. You can post anything in the stream from an attachment, video, link, or something in Google Drive and email members of a group.
I use it with my tutoring students as a place to upload resources, share documents, and communicate with them through the stream. Below is a glimpse of a writing classroom I created.
Google Classroom Example, “Online Writing Class Resources and More. “
To create a class:
- Go to https://classroom.google.com/ , or select your Google Classroom app, go to the right side and click on the + sign and select “Create a class.”
- A box will pop up where you can create the name of your class or writing group. T
- Type your information and select “create.”
- Next, invite group members by sending them an email, copying an invitation link, or sharing the class code.
- Start adding materials for your group.
Check out this post and see how to create an amazing academic writing group https://www.academicwritingsuccess.com/how-to-become-an-amazing-academic-writing-group/
Writing Tools for Focus and Productivity
#5 calmly writer.
If you find it hard to concentrate on writing and keep stopping to edit or “look something up,” try Calmly Writer https://www.calmlywriter.com/ . At the Calmly Writer website, you’ll see 2 choices: 1) The free online version and 2) The Desktop App, which costs #14.99. This blog post describes the free online version (not the desktop app).
Calmly Writer does not have a toolbar like Google Docs or MS Word. It lets you write without complicated buttons that highlight any mistakes. Which means you aren’t stopping to fix and correct things. Instead, you can focus on composing and turning thoughts into writing. The online program has a blank space. In the example here, you’ll see a word count tracker and “time to read tracker” at the bottom of the page.
Calmly Writer Example Text
You can choose a light or dark background setting. As you change paragraphs, you’ll see the previous ones fade; it forces you to move forward in your writing. You can set up simple preferences, such as font size, background, and noise (none or a typewriter sound). When you finish writing, you can download your document as a text, HTML, or Word Document file, or you can save it to Google Drive.
#6 Write More
Another tool that blocks distractions and keeps you on track with your writing is Write More https://writemore.io/ . Write More is a brand new tool (as of January 2022). I set up my account with Write More (currently free). Write More asked me questions about my preferences for a theme (my font style and background color) and word count goal. Other features I could select were whether or not I wanted to have creative writing prompts and email or text reminders at certain times of the day.
Write More tracks my word count and saves my writing automatically. Each piece of writing is saved as a page. In the example below, you’ll see the page I used to write this blog post.
Write More Example of a Page
Now, I can open it whenever I need to and go back to it. Also, I can download my page as Word Document, Html, or Text File. But one of my favorite parts is the analytics because I can see how much I’ve written each day over a more extended period. Looking at my analytics encouraged me to keep writing because I know the progress or lack of progress I made with my writing. I wrote my first draft of this post using Write More!
I’m not sure how much longer Write More will be free, so try it and register for an account if it interests you.
Online Tools for Organization and Planning
#7 evernote.
Evernote https://www.evernote.com/ lets you write and record notes on your phone that sync with an online app. There is a paid version of Evernote with more features and storage. However, I have a free account. With the free account, You can save your notes to “Notebooks” around a specific topic.
Example of an Evernote Dashboard with Notebooks
As you can see, I have notebooks for blog post ideas, fiction ideas, etc. Since I can record my thoughts on my phone, Evernote helps me capture ideas when I’m away from my laptop. It’s perfect for when I wake up in the middle of the night with a writing idea; I can record an audio note and go back to sleep.
Trello https://trello.com is a popular place for all kinds of planning and collaboration. People can create boards to brainstorm, complete tasks, and keep track of everything they need to do. There is a section for writing where people can create an original board and design it or work from a popular template.
This photo shows you my Trello Dashboard and the templates available.
Trello Workspace Example
In Trello, you can add cards for different things like checklists, attachments from links, Dropbox, and Google Drive within a template board. You can check off things as you complete them, add bibliographic information with sources, and make sure you finish everything by a deadline. Here is a card I developed for writing descriptions of academic sources.
Example of a Trello Card within a Board
There are different types of accounts that include a free option and different levels of paid options. In the free version, you can create 10 boards with an unlimited amount of cards on each board and unlimited storage. However, the free account does not include the features of assigning dates and inviting members.
Writing Resources for Word Choice
#9 visuwords.
Visuwords https://visuwords.com is more than a visual thesaurus because it also shows you the lexicon around a word. You can see how words fit within a phrase. When you type a word into the search bar, what comes up is a web that shows you both the parts of speech related to a term and the relationship of words (whether they mean the same thing, are examples of, are a type of something, etc.). You can see whole phrases put together.
Visuwords Example for the Word “Curious”
In the screenshot above, you can see the parts of speech related to the word “curious.” Each is color-coded: blue for a noun, green for a verb, orange for an adjective, and red for an adverb . The different lines that are solid or dotted note the relationship of a word or phrase to “curious.” For example, the solid blue color circle with the words “curiousness and inquisitiveness” are nouns. The solid gray line shows that they are words for “curious.” Visuwords is free and runs on donations, so consider making a small donation if you use it regularly.
#10 Power Thesaurus
Power Thesaurus https://www.powe r thesaurus.org shows you synonyms, antonyms, and definitions for a word. It’s community-driven, which means the words and sentences are gathered from multiple sources online. The benefit of that is it expands your word choices. In the screenshot below, I searched for synonyms for “curious.” There are 394 words and phrases. I selected the word “peculiar” and found its definition.
Power Thesaurus Example for the Word “Curious”
The downside of a community-driven website is that information may not be accurate. You’ll want to check words and phrases you are unsure of in a dictionary/thesaurus like Merriam-Webster. Power Thesaurus is free to use, but the free account includes pop-up ads. Hey, they need to make money some ho w . If you want to avoid ads, read more content, and get advanced extensions, you can purchase the Pro Subscription for $29.90 annually.
#11 Merriam-Webster Dictionary and Thesaurus
Every writer or student needs to have a good dictionary. Merriam-Webster Online https://www.merriam-webster.com/ combines its dictionary with a thesaurus. Like its book dictionary, you’ll find the meanings of a word and its variations.
In the screenshot here, you’ll see the essential definitions and complete definitions of the word “curious.”
Merriam-Webster Dictionary Definitions for the Word “Curious”
If you scroll down the page, you’ll see these options
- Synonyms and Antonyms
- Words From…
- Choose the Right Synonym
- Did you know?
- More Example Sentences
- Learn More About…
The third option, “Choose the Right Synonym, ” helps you find the perfect word that fits the emotion and context of what you are writing. Here, you can see information about choosing synonyms for the word “curious.”
Merriam-Webster–How to Choose the Right Synonym
Merriam-Webster also has an online thesaurus to help you find synonyms, related words, near antonyms, and antonyms. When you use Merriam-Webster, you know that the words you select come from a credible source. You can use it for free, but Google Ads are on the right side and bottom of your screen. It isn’t enjoyable, but you get used to it.
How to Select Your Online Writing Tools
Try out these free online writing tools to discover which ones will help you write better. Consider what you need overall to brainstorm, plan, write, focus, and enhance your language. Don’t add all these tools at once, but choose ones that make your writing life easier and even more fun!
And stay tuned for my next blog post, where I look at the best free revising and editing tools for 2022.

Educational Uses of Digital Storytelling
From site: Digital Storytelling is the practice of using computer-based tools to tell stories. As with traditional storytelling, most digital stories focus on a specific topic and contain a particular point of view. However, as the name implies, digital stories usually contain some mixture of computer-based images, text, recorded audio narration, video clips and/or music. Digital stories can vary in length, but most of the stories used in education typically last between two and ten minutes. And the topics that are used in Digital Storytelling range from personal tales to the recounting of historical events, from exploring life in one’s own community to the search for life in other corners of the universe, and literally, everything in between.

80 Creative and Fresh Writing Prompts for Students of All Ages (+ Bonus Interactive Tip to Run a Writing Activity in PowerPoint)
Ausbert Generoso
Writing prompts are essential tools for helping students explore their creativity and improve their writing skills, potentially even sparking a love for writing. While there are many instructional methods available, encouraging students to stitch their words together and bring their ideas to life through writing remains superior. Why?
- Writing helps students organize their thoughts clearly. It turns abstract ideas into coherent and structured arguments.
- Regular writing sharpens critical thinking. Crafting essays or stories encourages deeper analysis and problem-solving.
- Writing fuels creativity. Engaging with diverse prompts pushes students to explore new ideas and perspectives.
- Writing builds confidence. Seeing their ideas on paper boosts students’ belief in their own abilities.
- Writing prepares students for the future. Strong writing skills are essential for academic success and professional communication.
As straightforward as it may be, writing prompts need to be directly tailored to students at different levels. Considering their age groups, environment, and how they’re engaged, targeted writing prompts will better connect with their interests and developmental stages.

In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbithole, and that means comfort. It had a perfectly round door like a porthole, painted green, with a shiny yellow brass knob in the exact middle. The door opened on to a tubeshaped hall like a tunnel: a very comfortable tunnel without smoke, with panelled walls, and floors tiled and carpeted, provided with polished chairs, and lots and lots of pegs for hats and coats the hobbit was fond of visitors. The tunnel wound on and on, going fairly but not quite straight into the side of the hill The Hill, as all the people for many miles round called it and many little round doors opened out of it, first on one side and then on another. No going upstairs for the hobbit: bedrooms, bathrooms, cellars, pantries (lots of these), wardrobes (he had whole rooms devoted to clothes), kitchens, diningrooms, all were on the same floor, and indeed on the same passage. The best rooms were all on the lefthand side (going in), for these were the only ones to have windows, deepset round windows looking over his garden and meadows beyond, sloping down to the river. This hobbit was a very welltodo hobbit, and his name was Baggins. The Bagginses had lived in the neighbourhood of The Hill for time out of mind, and people considered them very respectable, not only because most of them were rich, but also because they never had any adventures or did anything unexpected: you could tell what a Baggins would say on any question without the bother of asking him. This is a story of how a Baggins had an adventure, found himself doing and saying things altogether unexpected. He may have lost the neighbours' respect, but he gainedwell, you will see whether he gained anything in the end.In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit.

Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbithole, and that means comfort. It had a perfectly round door like a porthole, painted green, with a shiny yellow brass knob in the exact middle. The door opened on to a tubeshaped hall like a tunnel: a very comfortable tunnel without smoke, with panelled walls, and floors tiled and carpeted, provided with polished chairs, and lots and lots of pegs for hats and coats the hobbit was fond of visitors. The tunnel wound on and on, going fairly but not quite straight into the side of the hill The Hill, as all the people for many miles round called it and many little round doors opened out of it, first on one side and then on another. No going upstairs for the hobbit: bedrooms, bathrooms, cellars, pantries (lots of these), wardrobes (he had whole rooms devoted to clothes), kitchens, diningrooms, all were on the same floor, and indeed on the same passage. The best rooms were all on the lefthand side (going in), for these were the only ones to have windows, deepset round windows looking over his garden and meadows beyond, sloping down to the river. This hobbit was a very welltodo hobbit, and his name was Baggins. The Bagginses had lived in the neighbourhood of The Hill for time out of mind, and people considered them very respectable, not only because most of them were rich, but also because they never had any adventures or did anything unexpected: you could tell what a Baggins would say on any question without the bother of asking him.

"Really impressed with the super clean interface on @novlrtweets as I take it for a test run in preparation for #NaNoWriMo. So far, it's totally blowing all the years I've squabbled with Microsoft Word out of the water. Even having a nice note section is 🤯."

The ship, the stalwart vessel known as 'The Serenity Mariner,' was plunged into chaos as the sky became a swirling maelstrom of opalescent tendrils. The flying jellyfish, their bioluminescent bodies illuminating the blackened sky, descended upon the ship with an otherworldly fury. Their membranous bodies pulsated as they sailed through the air, their long, poisonous tentacles trailing behind them like deadly streamers.
Captain Anabelle "Storm-Eye" Hawthorne stood at the helm, her grip firm on the worn, salt-crusted wheel. Her eyes, the color of the stormy sea itself, narrowed as she watched the spectral onslaught. Years of navigating treacherous waters had hardened her, but she'd never faced a tempest of living, breathing creatures before.
"Steady on, lads!" she roared above the howling wind, her voice carrying a command that could not be ignored. "Don't let the sea's nightmarish ballet scare you! These are just jellyfish, no more than that!"

Your Turn: Write for Us
Do you have a story to tell? Perhaps it’s something you’ve realized over the course of your career about how to get students excited about learning, a strategy you recently tried that didn’t quite work out and how you changed course, or an aha moment that led you to rethink how you teach a particular subject or lesson. If so, you’re in the right place.
We welcome pitches on all academic subjects and grades from pre-K through 12. And we’re always interested in pitches on our core strategies : tech integration, comprehensive assessment, integrated studies, project-based learning, social and emotional learning, and professional learning. To learn more, watch a recording of our live, informational Write for Us event held on June 27, 2024.
How to Propose an Article to Us
Send an email to GUESTBLOG at EDUTOPIA (dot) ORG with “Guest Blog: [Proposed Post Title]” in the subject line, and be sure to include the following information:
- A few sentences describing your proposed article and a detailed outline or description (the finished article will be around 850–1,000 words)
- Links to any multimedia you plan to include
- A few words about the intended target audience for your article (e.g., high school math teachers, administrators, instructional coaches, etc.)
- A roughly 80-word bio with details about your role in education, including your current job
- Three to five links to other pieces (if any) you’ve written, particularly for academic publications
- Full disclosure of any commercial interest in any products or services mentioned
- Your X (formerly Twitter) handle, if you have one
Please note: We accept only original submissions. If your post has appeared elsewhere, we will not accept it.
Some Resources to Inspire You
If you’ve never published an article before or are wondering whether your idea is a good one for Edutopia’s audience, we have some tips for how to write a pitch , and the information below may be helpful.
Meet an Edutopia writer: Hedreich Nichols is a district tech lead in Texas and host of the podcast SmallBites . In June 2020, she pitched an article for teachers who wanted to be more culturally responsive and inclusive but didn’t know where to begin. That became her first Edutopia article, “ A Guide to Equity and Antiracism for Educators .” Since then she has written for us on project-based learning, Black History Month and Hispanic Heritage Month, how to coach students to be empathetic, how to make productive use of new edtech, how to encourage engagement during testing season, and more.
That may seem like a broad range, but it’s more the norm than the exception—many teachers and school leaders have expertise in several areas. We encourage all of our writers to pitch ideas from across all areas of their expertise and interest.
Impactful articles: Get a concrete sense of the kinds of positive, constructive, and actionable posts we seek by reading these articles, written by your fellow educators:

- Using Board Games to Teach Math to Young Children by Nell McAnelly
- Scaffolding for Experienced English Language Learners by Tan Huynh and Beth Skelton
- The Case Against Zeros in Grading by Alexis Tamony
.css-1sk4066:hover{background:#d1ecfa;} From Pitch to Published: How to Write for Edutopia
Edutopia statement on generative artificial intelligence.
Generative AI tools like ChatGPT have raised a lot of interest—and no small amount of consternation—in education circles since they debuted. Students want to talk about and use these tools, and educators may want to as well. Our contributors may wish to use these tools in producing content for Edutopia.
We expect every article to be the original work of our authors. While we understand the potential of tools like ChatGPT to aid in the brainstorming process, we emphasize that the final submission should reflect your unique insights, your own word choices, and your analysis, ensuring the content’s originality and integrity.
If you use generative AI in any way to produce your work—creating a pitch, performing research, writing any part of the text—we require that you disclose that and discuss it with your editor. In all cases, be cautious when integrating even short phrases verbatim, and never incorporate entire sentences or paragraphs. Again, the final content must be your own creation, including original phrasing, insights, and judgment calls on word choice.
We reserve the right to reject any article that we believe was written with undisclosed AI assistance, at our sole discretion. If the usage is allowed, your editor will as always aim to help you publish your ideas in the best form possible.
Photographers, illustrators, and other visual artists are prohibited from using generative AI in producing work for Edutopia.
We do not currently use generative AI in any capacity in our videos.
This policy was last updated on March 20, 2024. It may evolve over time to reflect changes in technology and industry standards, always guided by our commitment to upholding the integrity and quality of content at Edutopia.
Our Editorial Process
Our editorial team will discuss your pitch, and if we accept it, we’ll ask you to share a draft of your post. Next, it’s likely that one of our editors will want to work with you to do at least one round of revisions. Contributors frequently tell us that they appreciate the care and attention they receive when working with Edutopia editors to create a blog post that resonates with the people they’re trying to reach.
Submissions to Edutopia are subject to our Terms of Use .
Because of the volume of submissions we receive, we have to say no to a lot of pitches, including many good ones. While we’re not able to respond substantively to every one, please know that we read all pitches closely, and we appreciate the time and energy that writing them requires. We do our best to respond to all proposals within two to three weeks. If we don’t accept the first pitch you submit, we hope you’ll try again with other great ideas.
