B L E N D S PAC E Q U I C K S TA RT G U I D E

Why use Blendspace?

Save time by keeping all videos, links, documents and other digital media for your lessons in one easy (and

free!) place.

Ensure your students achieve their fullest potential by differentiating instruction and lessons according to

diverse needs.

Deepen student engagement and 21st century learning when your kids create their own Blendspace

lessons for individual and collaborative projects — the sky’s the limit!

Boost the fun factor when you present anything, whether during class time or meetings with peers.

Share your expertly crafted lessons and curated content that other educators can use with their students.

This list is just a starting point – the possibilities are endless. Discover more ideas in our

1. Deliver lessons composed of multiple digital

resources during class without losing any

instructional time.

2. Create lessons for students to review on their own

during class or at home (flipping the classroom).

3. Set up work stations where students go through

different Blendspace lessons or specific parts of a

lesson (or have some students review lessons while

you’re talking with the rest).

4. Provide remediation to students by having them go

back to lessons on concepts they didn’t understand.

5. Challenge more advanced students by adding optional

content to a lesson or providing extra lessons.

6. Make study guides on key topics.

7. Administer quizzes and track comments to assess

student understanding.

8. Use lessons as a virtual corkboard of student work

that can be shared with anyone including parents.

9. Task students with creating their own lessons within a

project (e.g. digital storytelling, autobiographies, web

quests, presentations, plus many more).

10. Enable students to collaborate with each other on

projects and presentations.

11. Prompt online discussions among students, allowing

them to share questions and comments in each lesson.

12. Make presentations during department/grade team

meetings, PLCs, PD sessions, workshops, and

conferences.

13. Store and share many links, videos, PDFs,

presentations, and other digital content in a more

engaging way.
