WittyWe is an online learning portal for students in grades K-9. It includes content in many topic areas, including entrepreneurship, personal life skills, media, and STEM. Some of the content requires a paid subscription; instead, take advantage of the free 90-day membership, or look for activities with the "free" banner on the thumbnail icon. Most activities include a short video lesson accompanied by a quiz, challenge activity, and summary of the task.
In the Classroom
Use the activities found in WittyWe to provide instruction in content not typically covered in all curriculums. For example, assign activities related to entrepreneurship to complete during computer centers or include free lessons about the law as part of civics lessons. Share links to free lessons using Symbaloo, <a href="/single.cfm?id=11744">reviewed here</a>, for easy access by students. Include a link to your Symbaloo on your class website for students to access at home. Supplement your current lessons with those found on WittyWe using a learning management system such as TES Teach Blendspace, <a href="/single.cfm?id=14021">reviewed here</a>. Include the free activities from this site along with videos, quizzes, and additional articles of your choosing. When it is time for students to demonstrate learning, provide options for showing what they know using Book Creator, <a href="/single.cfm?id=17988">reviewed here</a>, or a video creation tool like Animoto, <a href="/single.cfm?id=10388">reviewed here</a>.
At Home
WittyWe is an excellent resource to bookmark and share with your student on home computers due to the variety of topics offered. Many topics aren’t covered in a typical school curriculum; however, they offer learning opportunities on necessary real-life skills such as economics, law, and entrepreneurship.
