I recently discovered CloudSchool, incredibly simple (and free) platform for creating and sharing standards-aligned instruction.
The teaching space (LMS) allows you and any teacher partners to deliver full courses or individual lessons. The WYSIWYG interface makes it easy to create and publish media-rich lessons, assignments and homework. CloudSchool can also be a platform for professional development.
After signing up, teachers are given a Teaching Space with an address of their choice (like: cloudschool.org/joycevalenza). Lesson are built modularly and are easily linked to curriculum standards, searchable within the platform.
Users may drag elements up and down to reorder them. Teachers may password protect and control which items are publicly visible. Students can visit across their devices without a login.CloudSchool is a simple, elegant, free teaching platform and I plan to use it regularly with my classes and in workshops.
