What’s It Like? 

Wizer is a website where K-12 teachers can create augmented digital worksheets in any subject area. Once users sign up for an account, they can immediately start browsing or creating worksheets. Users choose a template and then add a title along with written and/or voice-recorded instructions and create their questions based on videos, images, charts, tables, and more. Once teachers save, preview, and assign the worksheet, students can access them on computers or mobile devices via LMS logins (Google, Edmodo, Microsoft), a class code, or a link to a URL. Teachers can opt to give students a choice of response format, such as verbal, written, or drawn.

Price: Free, Paid

Grades: K-12

Rating: 4/5

Pros: Attractive user interface makes for easy assigning, submissions, and feedback; user-created resource bank lightens workload.

Cons: Some limits to how students can demonstrate understanding of concepts; some features may not work on all devices.

Bottom line: Students will appreciate this 21st-century take on worksheets, and teachers will love all the different options for creation and assessment.
