Teachers Need Their Time Back

According to Kiddom, K-12 teachers across the U.S. spend 7–12 hours a week planning lessons – often during evenings and weekends. Most of that time isn’t spent teaching. It’s spent searching for resources, organizing links, and re-creating lessons that already exist.

The good news? With the right tools, teachers can dramatically reduce planning time – and Wakelet is one of the simplest ways to make that happen.

Why Lesson Planning Takes So Long

Teachers commonly lose time because they’re forced to:

  • Hunt for resources scattered across drives, websites, and notebooks

  • Rebuild lessons instead of reusing or adapting them

  • Differentiate content for various ability levels

  • Share multiple files and links with students, substitutes, and parents

  • Format materials to look organized and student-friendly

Wakelet simplifies all of this – through one powerful platform.

How Wakelet Helps Teachers Save Hours Every Week

1. One Hub for All Your Lesson Resources

Instead of jumping between Google Drive, OneDrive, YouTube, PDFs, and random websites, Wakelet lets teachers save everything in one place.

Teachers can create collections for:

  • Units

  • Weekly lessons

  • Videos

  • Worksheets

  • Templates

  • Assessments

Once the collection is created, it can be shared, stored, and reused whenever you need it – saving teachers plenty of time over the week.

Time saved: 2–5 hours per week.

2. Templates You Can Reuse Forever

Although pretty fulfilling, teachers don’t always have the time to to build fresh lessons from scratch. Most of the time, a grab-and-go lesson structure that has been created and vetted by other educators is still powerful.

Wakelet allows you to create reusable templates for:

Duplicate, update, and teach – no rebuilding required.

Time saved: 1–3 hours per week.

3. Save and Organize Videos Instantly

Instead of searching for “that one interesting YouTube video from last year,” Wakelet saves and organizes videos with one click.

Perfect for:

  • Math tutorials

  • Science labs

  • Read-alouds

  • History clips

Time saved: 2+ hours per week.

4. Share Lessons With One Link

Whether it’s a co-teacher, substitute, student, or parent, Wakelet allows teachers to share everything through a single, clean link – not 10 different attachments.

Time saved: 20–50 minutes per lesson.
