About Instructify
What it is:
The Instructify philosophy–Teach smarter, not harder.
Instructify is where teachers can stock their toolboxes with practical, time-saving classroom ideas and cutting edge methods of instruction. It’s where to find useful, free technology to utilize in the classroom. And it’s a fun place to spend your planning period.
Instructify is also a verb. To Instructify means to find new ways to present the same old content. Or MacGyvering anything from software to Post-it notes into something you can teach with. It also works great as a command. As in, “Don’t just teach, Instructify!”
Whether you’re looking for graphing calculator without having to drop a hundred bucks, or you want a faster, more accurate way for your English students to cite their sources on research papers, or if you’ve got some bright ideas you’d like to share with the rest of the class, Instructify is the place for you.
What it isn’t:
Instructify isn’t out to change the world or bemoan educational policy. Look, the Web is already full of education blogs ranting about how we need to remake the American school as a digital learning cooperative or something.
Do you want to slog through a bunch of pie-in-the-sky pontificating about how Web 2.0 will magically change school from suck to success? Or would you rather find neat stuff you can use to improve things yourself?
Who are these people?
Instructify is brought to you by LEARN NC, a program of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Education. LEARN NC finds the most innovative and successful practices in K-12 education and makes them available to the teachers and students of North Carolina–and the world.
