TES Teach is an online platform for creating interactive multimedia lessons and learning materials. It works by providing a drag-and-drop interface where educators can easily add and arrange content from various sources onto a customisable canvas that can be shared with students. TES Teach supports different types of files, such as videos, images, and documents, and features assessment tools such as quizzes, online discussions, and a “Like” button for students. Users can also search for suitable free and paid-for lesson resources. TES Teach is free to use and does not require having an account for use, although logging in provides additional functionalities. TES Teach was developed by TES Global, an education company based in the United Kingdom.
Evaluation: TES Teach is a handy tool to create digital lessons in an intuitive and quick way. It provides lots of educational materials, although many are paid for. Teachers can use it to supplement in-class teaching, facilitate flipped classrooms, or provide additional resources for independent study.
Cost: Free + paid-for educational resources available.
