Monroe One BOCES uses Wakelet to align with state standards (i.e. NYS P-12 Standards), ISTE Student Standards, or ASCD’s new Transformational Learning Principles, enhance student portfolios, support equitable learning, and foster readiness across their CTE department, District and schools.
Wakelet helps Monroe One BOCES equip students with the skills essential to future readiness and empowers teachers across all subject areas to create dynamic and safe learning environments by creating equitable spaces for all students to shine, foster growth, self-advocacy, and readiness for life beyond the classroom.
Career and Technical Education
Students who curate and create professional portfolios stand out in the industry before and after graduation. Jaclyn Kavanagh, Instructional Technology Support Specialist, at Monroe One BOCES in New York shares that Wakelet is the perfect platform for this purpose! Students create visually stunning CTE portfolios to showcase their skills and experiences in and outside their classrooms.
Culinary students
Culinary students use Wakelet in a variety of ways; to build a chef profile, and restaurant menu and include pictures and videos of their culinary skills or create culinary journals using Wakelet collection to document students’ meal planning, ingredient sourcing and final presentations and feedback. Both activities support standards like the New York Learning Standards emphasizing skill documentation or ISTE Student Standards for Creative Communicator or Digital Citizen.

Wakelet is a safe alternative platform for practising social media and digital citizenship skills. Students have a safe space and an equitable learning environment to practice using social media who do not have permission or the means to use social media purposefully. As an example, students took before and after photos of their work to promote on social media while learning and utilizing useful hashtags unique to their craft. Hermione’s Nails Instagram Collection
Visual Communications
Wakelet supports Monroe One’s Special Education students to shine and tell their stories in their voices. Whether it’s a student in the district’s Transition Program wanting to describe their day at their worksite or an elementary student sharing their personal Individualized Education Plan in their voice it’s amazing to watch these students shine: Student Self-Advocacy in Special Education
Students contribute helpful drawing resources into one collection for the whole class to view and access to support learning. Creating digital storytelling collections around different themes or writing assignments (e.g., personal narratives, persuasive or argumentative essays) helps both teachers and students meet learning goals. Since Wakelet is beautifully organized content, students might collaborate in small groups to demonstrate their growth and learning reflections or by curating learning resources. Both foster independent and collaborative learning experiences.

French teacher, Ashley Ramble says
“My class enjoyed a Wakelet cultural activity, and it generated a lot of conversation in the classroom. I presented this extension lesson after completing our food unit and learning about the French school system.
I must say that I am so glad Jackie introduced our department to Wakelet earlier this school year! There are so many great materials to explore and interactive collections to share with learners and Wakelet is very easy to use!”
