Policy on self promotion

We defer to reddiquette:

"Feel free to post links to your own content (within reason). But if that's all you ever post, or it always seems to get voted down, take a good hard look in the mirror — you just might be a spammer. A widely used rule of thumb is the 9:1 ratio, i.e. only 1 out of every 10 of your submissions should be your own content."

It's okay to self promote on teaching resources, but we would love if you could also contribute other great resources that are not your own so that is not all that you are doing.


Policy on reporting

Please reserve reporting for profane, or blatantly irrelevant content. Use your down vote if the resource submitted was not useful to you.

Random Group Generator without ads

Hi y all,
in our school, the headmaster really pays attention, that we don't show any ads to our kids. The random group generator we used shows ads and look sooo old school, that I wanted to change it. As a small IT project to perpare myself to teach some coding, I've create groupify.it

It's for the moment a simple #groupgenerator with a nice name animation. You can upload your students as cvs or excel file (if in the proper format) and download the groups as pdf or image. Something I missed in the former generator.

The generator is without any ads and free to use. I will try to add also a seating chart generator. Feel free to post any feedback.

And yes, the design ins't really great at all. I'm currently working on it.
Happy teaching and group/team working with groupify.it

State Exams….Help

I completed my master's program, and the only thing left for me to do is take the PECT state exam. However, I struggle with ADHD, which makes it incredibly difficult for me to concentrate on studying for this exam. I truly want to take it, have my own classroom, and achieve all my goals, but I can't seem to focus and learn the material that is specifically on the test.

I have spent nearly $400 on preparation materials, but I've barely been able to use them before they expired. Either I don't have enough time, or when I finally have time, I find it hard to concentrate and retain any of the information I'm reading and trying to learn. I feel as though my depression and anxiety are overwhelming me in addition to my ADHD, and I keep failing in my attempts to prepare for this test.

I've rescheduled the exam so many times that I’ve lost the money I paid for it the first time. If anyone out there has advice or wise words to help me, please share. Thank you.

"Geography" Lesson Ideas?

So I'm homeschooled, and practically teaching myself. I have a curriculum book for my grade, but it has run out of science, history, and it's "geography" lessons because I've finished them all.

I put geography in quotations because it isn't really geography; I don't know how to explain it, but the lessons are basically like Natural Processes & Landforms, Climate Patterns, Natural Vegetation, Impact Of Human Activities, etc etc. Those are actual titles/names of the lectures.

So, less geography and more a category of a science and world-wide economy based topic I can't find a word for (if you actually know what it is, please tell me lol. I've been stuck trying to figure out what subject it is for months now without Google 🤣😭)

Anyway, does anyone know any books or websites that teach lessons about things like those examples? I also use Kahn Academy, but I've been signed out for about 2 months and can't get back in, so I haven't been on it.

Good movies to show for senior level Economics classes?

So I'm lucky to have two very engaged and enthusiastic senior level Economics classes, and with this being the last week of our first semester and my last lesson set for tomorrow I'm trying to think of an entertaining but also relevant movie to show them over the last two days on Thursday and Friday. I already showed The Big Short before winter break so that's out of the question unfortunately.

Exploring Effective Teaching Resources and Strategies

Dear High School Educators,

I would like to inquire about the platforms and resources you currently use to teach your students. Could you kindly share both the advantages and limitations of these tools? Additionally, I am interested in learning what you believe should be included in ideal study materials such as presentations, slideshows, reports, worksheets, and study packets.

Moreover, I would appreciate hearing about the most effective teaching strategies you employ to help students achieve a deeper understanding of the curriculum.

Are there any US based conferences for STEM/STEAM educators?

I’ve seen found conferences from companies like Autodesk (Tinkercad, Autocad) that have educator elements to them, but I’m looking for a more education based conference in the US, where I can meet other educators and swap notes and learn.

For those new to converting units, the overall process is the same for all of your units. If you need to convert yards to feet or feet to yards, the process is no different from converting feet to inches or inches to feet. Just make sure you start with your basic unit conversion. I hope this helps.

Advice Needed: How Can I Best Apply My Skills to Create Educational Content?

Hi everyone, I’m a former curriculum developer and teacher trainer with a passion for creating engaging educational content. My ultimate goal is not to become a teacher in a classroom but to be a content creator who provides tools and resources that inspire curiosity and critical thinking for learners and educators alike.

Here’s a bit about my background: • I’ve developed and programmed an e-learning engine, created video lessons, written tutorials, and made supporting artwork. • I’ve trained teachers to use curricula I created, covering subjects like horticulture, AI and robotics, video game design, animation, and music video production. • My strengths include finding connections between disparate subjects and presenting them in ways that engage learners. • I’ve spent years researching homeschooling and unschooling approaches, and I want to bring those alternative perspectives into my work.

I’m open to creating content in any format—videos, comics, games, ARGs, AI tools, e-learning platforms, or even hybrid ideas I haven’t thought of yet. My ideal audience is broad, ranging from preschoolers to adults, and I’m particularly interested in cross-disciplinary subjects that encourage critical thinking.

Here’s where I need help: I’m overwhelmed by the sheer number of possibilities. I want to know what educators and learners would find most useful in terms of tools, resources, or approaches. What are the biggest gaps you see in educational content today?

I’m not looking to create a massive, ultimate project right now. Instead, I’d like to ease back into the field, whether by collaborating with an educator, working with an existing company, or starting something on my own.

I’d love to hear your thoughts, advice, or even stories about how you approach similar challenges. What directions or ideas would you suggest for someone with my skills and goals?

Thanks in advance for your insights!

An interesting classroom and teaching software you might like, looking for feedback thanks!

We've made a classroom teaching and engagement software called MyClass (https://joinmyclass.com) which is already really powerful with whiteboarding, interactive and engaging activities, ready-made content, and lots of import options to help make it easy to get started with your existing content.

There is a free tier and it's pretty generous with what you can do. Just sign up without entering a product key.

I'd love to get feedback from educators. On one hand I think it's an amazing platform and needs more love but on the other hand I don't know if we are doing it in a way that actually helps teachers and it is what teachers want or need.

Like:

  • we have an Android launcher which actually replaces your existing experience with ours - you can sign into it and present your lessons directly from it, but do teachers use their Android panels in this way?
  • Do your students have their own devices in the classroom or do you have school-supplied hardware for this, or are students even *allowed* their own devices like Chromebooks or iPads in the classroom?
  • We have AI in our solution to help build content but is this seen as good or bad or does it depend how we do it?

I want to keep this short and am happy to give more details if needed. Thank you!
