Google Sites is often used for classroom websites, student portfolios, and resource hubs. But many teachers find it time-consuming, overly rigid, and difficult for students to update.
Wakelet offers a faster and more visual alternative that helps teachers organize lessons, share resources, and build portfolios without the stress of site-building.
Much Faster to Build Than Google Sites
Google Sites requires page building, formatting, layout adjustments, and constant editing.
Wakelet lets teachers:
-
Drag and drop resources instantly
-
Add videos, links, Docs, Slides, and PDFs in seconds
-
Build a full classroom hub in minutes, not hours
Teachers save time while still creating a polished, organized digital space.
A Visual, Modern Experience Students Understand Instantly
Wakelet collections are beautifully visual and simple:
-
Students scroll through resources like a feed
-
Everything is clearly organized
-
No confusing pages, menus, or hidden content
This makes Wakelet perfect for K–12 students and even early learners.
Perfect for Portfolios, Resources, and Weekly Plans
Google Sites works well for static websites, but not for daily teaching workflows.
Wakelet supports:
-
Research projects
-
Resource libraries
-
Sub plans
Teachers can update collections in seconds instead of rebuilding web pages.
Easy Sharing With a Single Link
Google Sites can require multiple pages, tabs, and navigation steps.
With Wakelet:
-
One link shares an entire collection
-
Teachers can make collections public, private, or unlisted
-
Parents and students can open everything instantly
-
No Google accounts required to view
This reduces confusion and makes communication smoother.
Built for Collaboration
Wakelet allows:
-
Students to collaborate on shared collections
-
Teachers to plan together in real time
-
Group projects to live in one visual space
-
Classrooms to upload evidence of learning easily
Google Sites does not support this kind of flexible, classroom-focused collaboration.
Why Wakelet Is the Better Choice for Classrooms
Teachers are replacing Google Sites with Wakelet because it:
-
Is much faster to build and update
-
Requires no design or website skills
-
Works perfectly for portfolios and lesson planning
-
Simplifies communication with a single link
-
Encourages student collaboration
-
Saves teachers’ hours every week
Wakelet is a flexible, visual, and powerful alternative to Google Sites, designed for the real workflow of today’s classrooms.
