Great post and thanks for sharing this wonderful post, as it is much needed post in times like these. Your post will definitely help motivate a lot of teachers and teach their students online. Nice work keep it up.
iDoceo is a great app which has lots of fantastic features including class list, assessments, tracking and sending info. It has lots of really useful features, too many to list here, and you can import data info from google/Dropbox etc. Check out the link below.
Incredibly thorough list and with many tools I was not already aware of. Thank you for sharing that list.
I especially love the ‘5 minute lesson plan’ tool you mention! 🙂
Hi Valeria, scroll to the bottom of the 5 minute lesson plan page and you’ll discover 30+ templates.
Superb list.
Keep up the great work. We have a lot of teachers who are not in school, and suddenly trying to get to grips with any kind of online teaching. Any help is very valuable.
Thank you for sharing!
This is excellent. Thank you.
Education perfect is offering all school free access to their materials until May. It is a great website with lots of ready-made lessons for a variety of subjects. I use it for MFL. You set up your classes and set them tasks. You can monitor their progress in real-time as well!
Another one to use for a secure line that cannot be hacked is Cisco Webex.
This page is full of very helpful ideas and resources. I’ve shared it with hundreds of teachers throughout Texas.
Y’all stay well and strong across the pond! We’re in this together and we will come out stronger and better than ever!
Cheers from Houston, Texas!

This is a great list of resources – thank you for collating them all!
A new online school, AimHi.co, is offering free, live, interactive lessons every weekday for children aged 8+. They centre lessons around big questions like ‘How do we know space is expanding?’ and ‘Why do we sleep?’. Really great supplement to the curriculum focused resources on offer.
Any suggestion on the best way to be able to write mathematical solutions in real time for students to see via their screen. I can get students to see my screen of course; its the writing in real time. Would Doceri be best solution?
Thanks
Hello Rory – happy to show you in real-time. Send me an email with some times you are free.
Thank you so much!! I have emailed you. Rory
This is a great list of resources. It is quite the challenge to have students engaged in this trying times.
Hopefully all of you are doing well. Kind regards from the south of Chile!
Thank you for reading so far away in Chile – would love to visit!
Awesome list, thank you!
Thanks for sharing!
Wakelet is a great platform for setting lessons, planning or helping students to collaborate on research or projects remotely, as well as to submit work for teachers to assess. It’s being used much more in the USA than in the UK at the moment but it’s a great tool, complete with integrations for Teams, Google Classroom and browser extensions etc to make it really easy. There are free webinars their team run each week to help people get started as well – plus it’s all free!
Blooket is another wonderful website for added competition! Allows you to create fun quizzes which can be directly imported from Quizlet. It has an extra element of fun as you can put it in various game modes! And set it for homework! Definitely recommend it, especially for MFL!
Thanks for the tip-off – will take a look!
Excellent list of resources here! Have “pocket”ed a few for later 🙂
