This deceptively simple-looking site offers an easy way to encourage continuous, non-stop writing. Users set a goal of either words or time and choose start. If you stop typing for too long, all your words vanish, creating pressure to keep moving and preventing over-editing or getting stuck. This exercise serves as a tool to encourage brainstorming, freewriting, overcoming writer's block, and practicing flow state writing.
In the Classroom
Use this tool to help students develop writing fluency so they can focus on ideas rather than grammar and spelling rules. Ghost Writer is also an excellent tool for activating schema when starting a new unit. Ask students to set the timer and write nonstop about what they know about the upcoming unit's content or what they don't know. In science class, use Ghost Writer as a hypothesis brain dump, or use it as part of reading lessons for students to share all they know about characters from a novel you are reading. Extend learning by asking students to take their ideas and develop them further in Google Docs or Microsoft Word.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

In the Classroom
Choose a short podcast episode, such as 99 Percent Invisible or This American Life, and have students listen in groups, noting the main ideas, tone, and supporting details. Follow with a discussion on how the speaker uses storytelling to convey meaning. Provide a transcript (if available) and have students annotate key phrases, claims, and rhetorical techniques to reinforce listening comprehension and textual analysis. Pair podcasts with other media, for example, listen to a design-focused 99 Percent Invisible episode during a STEM or art project, and have students present how the podcast deepened their understanding of the topic.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

In the Classroom
Choose short university lectures related to your current unit (e.g., history, literature, or psychology). Have students summarize key takeaways and connect them to class topics. Assign a relevant Open Culture lecture for homework, then use class time for guided discussion, problem-solving, or creative applications of the concept. Form small groups where students take different Open Culture courses and share summaries or key insights with the class, encouraging collaboration and exposure to diverse subjects.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
