TES is dedicated to supporting the world’s teachers. Our mission is to enable great teaching by helping educators find the tools and technology they need to excel to support them throughout their careers and professional development. We’re home to the world’s largest online community of teachers with 7.3 million registered users, and we host a dynamic marketplace in which educators discover, share, and sell original teaching materials. Alongside our marketplace, we offer Blendspace, a lesson-building tool used by over 1.5 million teachers and students.
In our session, you’ll learn how to engage students and differentiate instruction by creating digital lessons. Blendspace makes it easy to plan, build, and deliver a lesson by integrating videos, TES resources, your own files, online assessments, web links, and other digital media. Whether flipping the classroom or reviewing lessons during class time, you’ll be able to personalize your students’ learning with content created by educators from across the globe.
