Distance Learning Resources for Creative Student Learning

A compilation of our apps and websites that we have been using for distance learning with success.

Whether we are teaching remotely or in the classroom, it is important to invite our students to create products like videos, podcasts, infographics, and other interactive media that showcase their writing in engaging ways and that can be shared with others. Empower your students to build visual literacy and engage your students in rich and authentic learning experiences that will help them in the real world. 

Here are some website ideas that help students to write for multiple purposes and audiences:

Websites for social media posts, web pages, and videos:


Adobe Spark or Canva

Websites for infographics:
Infogram or Piktochart

Website for recording podcasts:
Audacity or Garageband

Websites for timelines:


Timeline JS, Sutori, or TimeToast

Websites for making digital and print books:
Book Creator or Storybird

We’re sure that you have seen, heard of, or used these websites in your classroom, but hopefully there was something new on this list that you might be able to utilize in your classroom.
