TesTeach is a free online tool which allows educators to create digital lessons by compiling information from across the web into a single interactive creation.Tes allows teachers to upload images, link videos from YouTube, as well as providing access to worksheets, diagrams, maps, PowerPoints and other pre-made documents.
These can all be previewed, added, removed, or changed around according to the educator's needs.
Teachers begin by creating and naming their class, as well as choosing the grade level. this last part is important as the website allows the teacher to link relevant Common Core Standards for the subject matter and grade level of the material, ensuring the students are aware what they will be expected to accomplish.
Once a document is added, whether through the website, or a google link, the teacher can provide text explaining what the students are expected to learn, and the ways they can interact with the document.
The website allows students the option of commenting which allows them to voice ideas, concerns, or discuss with one another what exactly it is they are looking at.
Aside from text and comments teacher's can also create quizzes for the materials provided to check understanding, and measure student performance.
When the lesson's creation is complete, the teacher can choose whether the finished product is shared between their classes, remains in their possession alone, or they can allow it to be used by the general public adding to the sites large number of pre-made lessons.
