The Design Thinking guide, a PDF from the Education Futures Academy, is a comprehensive, free resource that provides nine adaptable lessons to guide students through the stages of design thinking, including empathize, define, ideate, prototype, test, and evaluate. Created by experts and aligned with the Australian Curriculum, this flexible framework promotes creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving across diverse subjects and year levels. It provides clear instructions, extra materials, and flexible timing to help teachers bring human-centered innovation into the classroom.
tag(s): collaboration (141), critical thinking (193), design (77), problem solving (288), thinking skills (137)
In the Classroom
Have students interview classmates, teachers, or community members about a real problem (e.g., recycling in school, playground safety). Use sticky notes or a digital tool like Padlet, reviewed here for students to post as many ideas as possible in the ideation stage. Ask students to quickly build a low-cost prototype with simple materials (cardboard, tape, string). They can present it to peers, then have the peers give feedback on how well it solves the identified problem.

The Cornell Note interface offers educators and students a streamlined, browser-based platform for creating Cornell-style notes. The tool features separated sections named Cues, Notes, and Summary, allowing users to organize their thoughts in the classic Cornell format. Users can easily structure notes by typing key ideas, inserting visuals, titles, and summaries, while leveraging essential features such as creating, saving, opening, renaming, printing, and editing functions (including undo/redo and copy/paste). This tool does not require sign-up; it is entirely free, and its straightforward interface lets students focus on learning rather than the tool itself.
tag(s): Accessibility (12), note taking (36), organizational skills (91), study aid (177)
In the Classroom
Have students use the Cornell Notes format while listening to a short lecture, story, or read-aloud. They record key points in the Notes section, list vocabulary or guiding questions in the Cues column, and write a one-paragraph Summary at the end. Assign an educational video or podcast. Students take Cornell Notes while watching/listening, then compare their Cues and Summaries in small groups, which encourages active listening and discussion. At the end of class, have students complete only the Summary section of their Cornell Notes as a quick "exit ticket." Teachers can review these to check comprehension and adjust future lessons.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Although any educator can use this tool, the creators designed it to help create substitute plans, complete makeup work, and develop enrichment or remediation activities. Start by adding a lesson topic to begin planning, then select a grade level, and optionally include details such as the learning standard and lesson length. Choose from two options to generate your lesson. The first option builds a lesson through guided steps, while the second option quickly generates a lesson using the information you have already added. When finished, Insta-Lesson sends the completed lesson, teacher guide, and slide presentation to your email.

BingWow is a free online tool that lets teachers quickly create custom bingo games using AI, making it a fast way to generate ready-to-use activities. Enter a title, choose a card size (small, medium, or large), and select a tone (playful, balanced, or realistic); the AI then generates the bingo content based on your input. You can choose between a standard clue set, where all players have the same clues in different positions, or a wildcard option that creates some unique clues on each board to vary gameplay. After generating a set, each square is editable, allowing you to add images and refine the content before use. The site also includes premade bingo sets organized into categories such as education, holidays, and kids, available directly at the bottom of the homepage. No sign-in is required, and there are no ads, which makes access quick and simple. Users may still need to review and adjust AI-generated clues for accuracy or alignment with learning goals, and customization is limited to editing individual squares rather than changing broader game settings.
tag(s): artificial intelligence (354), game based learning (329), printables (35), study aid (177), worksheets (70)
In the Classroom
BingWow makes it easy to turn any topic into an engaging review game that involves little or no prep time, is free, and has no two cards alike. Start with the basics: enter weekly vocabulary words to generate bingo cards, then call out definitions instead of the words so students must recall the meanings before marking their cards. Create cards with multiplication facts, fractions, or decimals, call out a problem, and have students find the correct answer. Enhance learning by using BingWow during read-alouds or video lessons by loading cards with terms students are likely to encounter, and turn passive viewing into active listening. Extend learning by challenging students to design their own bingo sets tied to a research project, current unit, or independent reading book. Students curate the clues, which requires them to identify key concepts and think critically about what matters most. They can then generate cards through BingWow and lead the class in a live review game.Edge Features:

This video from Mashup Math shows students how to use real-world data to find probability. A soda company uses six different symbols on bottle caps, and a table shows how often each symbol appears on 50 bottles. Students learn to calculate the probability that the next bottle will have either a green heart or a purple star by adding the occurrences of those two symbols, which appear 15 and 5 times. Together, they occur 20 out of 50 times, and the video demonstrates how to simplify that fraction to 2/5. The lesson reinforces how to use data, identify desired outcomes, and express probability clearly. If your district blocks YouTube, then the video may not be viewable.

Data Nuggets is a collection of free classroom activities designed to bring real scientific data into K-12 lessons. Co-created by scientists and educators, each activity includes a short story about a researcher and their scientific question, followed by actual datasets for students to graph, analyze, and use to support evidence-based claims. The activities are offered at four reading levels and come in three graphing formats, ranging from fully labeled to blank graphs, allowing for easy differentiation. Each Nugget includes a Teacher Guide with sample student responses, discussion questions, assessment tips, and extension ideas. Aligned with NGSS and Common Core standards, Data Nuggets support the development of quantitative literacy, critical thinking, and student confidence in working with real-world data from elementary through high school.

In the Classroom
Begin by reading the short narrative included in each Data Nugget, which introduces a real-life scientist and their research question. Students can discuss what the scientist is studying and make predictions about the data they'll explore, sparking curiosity and a connection to real-world science. Using the three versions of the same Nugget, students start with a fully labeled graph (Version A), then progress to a partially labeled graph (Version B), and finally create their own graphs from raw data (Version C). Challenge students to investigate a local scientific question (e.g., schoolyard plant diversity or weather patterns), collect data, and create their own version of a Data Nugget, complete with a question, dataset, and graphing challenge to share with peers. Have students use Sway reviewed here to share their information and Data Nuggets.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
