Give Students an Interactive Worksheet Upgrade With Wizer

You can probably guess by the image that I am not a big fan of the worksheet. I much prefer using interactive HyperDocs that engage students in content using the 4 Cs of collaboration, communication, critical thinking, and creativity. Too many worksheets I've used and seen over the years really just focus on content and memorization

That being said, I realize that using a worksheet to focus on content still has a place in many classrooms, but we can make these better. Not just prettier, but better for students. In my oppinion the best worksheets do more then engage students in content. A great workshet can also engage students in the 4 Cs. If you are going to do worksheets, please make them as interactive as possible to engage all learners. Challenge your students to do more than fill in the blanks. 

Google Docs, Google Slides, and Google Drawings are great resources to create content-driven worksheets, but today I wanted to share another resource that teachers can use to create interactive digital worksheets.
