The TTSReader Player is a free, web-based text-to-speech tool that lets users paste or load text, documents, or even webpages to be read aloud. One helpful feature is the option to switch to a free voice (non-premium). You can click on the voice selector, choose a free voice, and it will continue to work across different URLs without needing to be reset each time. When premium voices are selected, the site may prompt you to sign in with Google to unlock them, but the free voices remain usable without signing in.
tag(s): Accessibility (12), text to speech (23)
In the Classroom
Upload a short story, article, or poem into TTSReader and play it aloud for the class. Have students follow along with the text to build fluency and listening comprehension. Provide students with complex texts (like historical documents or scientific articles) and let them use TTSReader independently. They can pause, replay, and annotate, making it easier to engage with challenging content. Have students paste their own essays or reports into TTSReader. Hearing their writing read back helps them catch errors, improve sentence flow, and strengthen revisions.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

The video Design Thinking Process for Kids - STEM Lessons from Seesaw Learning introduces upper-elementary students to the five stages of design thinking: empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test. It explains each stage in kid-friendly language, showing how students can observe needs, generate multiple ideas, build simple versions of those ideas, and then test and refine them. The Seesaw platform is used to help students document their thinking, share feedback, and reflect on their work. The video is well-suited for hands-on, group-based STEM projects, helping students understand not only what each part of the process looks like but also how they fit together in real-world design challenges. If your district blocks YouTube, then the video may not be viewable.
tag(s): collaboration (116), design (76), problem solving (273), STEM (371)
In the Classroom
Show the video to the class and pause after each stage (empathize, define, ideate, prototype, test). Ask students to share examples from their own lives that connect to each step. Have students list small challenges they notice in their classroom or school (such as messy desks, long lunch lines, or broken supplies) to build empathy and set up a real-world context for applying design thinking. Ask students to use Seesaw, reviewed here to document their process, add pictures of prototypes, and reflect on what worked and what they would change.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

The Makers Empire Design Thinking Cycle Worksheet Handout Template offers a clean, one-page worksheet that helps students keep the stages of design thinking visible and clear. The worksheet is downloadable in both US Letter and A4 sizes, so teachers can print it to fit their classroom needs. It's designed to support students through the cycle of empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test by providing a structured format for recording their thoughts and actions. Makers Empire also offers a more detailed, six-page workbook for deeper work. This resource is helpful for STEM, maker challenges, project-based learning, or any lesson that encourages students to plan, iterate, and reflect on their design process.
tag(s): collaboration (116), design (76), problem solving (273), STEM (371)
In the Classroom
Begin by giving students the worksheet and guiding them through each stage of the design thinking cycle with a simple, shared example (e.g., redesigning the classroom pencil sharpener). Have students use the "Ideate" section of the worksheet to brainstorm as many solutions as possible for a fun prompt like "How could we make recess better?" After testing, students share what worked, what didn't, and what they would improve. Use the worksheet to document insights and model the importance of iteration.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

The ORISE lesson plan "Design Thinking Challenge: Design a Game" is a middle school activity for grades 6-8 that introduces students to the design thinking process by having them create a board game for younger learners. Over the course of about ten class periods, students move through the steps of empathizing with their audience, defining needs, brainstorming ideas, prototyping, testing, and refining their designs. Using simple classroom materials, they design content-based games that are both engaging and educational for first- and second-graders. The lesson emphasizes problem-solving, creativity, and iteration, while also encouraging collaboration and real-world application as students test their games with younger peers and improve them based on feedback. It provides a hands-on way to integrate STEM, critical thinking, and empathy into the classroom.
tag(s): collaboration (116), problem solving (273), professional development (319), STEM (371), thinking skills (117)
In the Classroom
Have students interview younger peers, siblings, or even adults reflecting on their childhood to learn what kinds of games children enjoy and what challenges they face when learning new rules. During the design process, have groups exchange their early prototypes with another group to play-test. Sharing prototypes and discussing designs builds peer feedback skills and helps students recognize gaps or confusing rules before testing with younger children. Introduce students to different mechanics used in professional games (dice rolling, spinners, strategy, chance, storytelling). Ask them to analyze how each mechanic affects player engagement and decide which to include in their designs.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

This blog article from Twinkl, reviewed here, "What Is Design Thinking? Activities for Kids" explains design thinking as a creative, student-centered approach to problem solving that encourages learners to design solutions that meet real needs. It highlights how this process develops important skills, such as problem-solving, creativity, self-confidence, curiosity, and empathy, while engaging students in meaningful, hands-on learning. The article also shares ten practical activities for kids, including building marble mazes, creating recycled robot collages, designing VR games, crafting wildlife sculptures, and participating in junk modeling challenges, each designed to spark innovation and critical thinking. Additional resources are recommended to help teachers extend learning through STEM and design-technology themes, making this article a useful tool for guiding lessons and projects in which students explore, prototype, test, and reflect.
