"Workbench is an innovative one-stop shop for teachers to find and share lessons and projects that support both core and STEAM curricula. Forge real-world connections by creating a meteorologist's report about local weather, bring the maker movement to life by creating earthquake-proof Lego buildings, or encourage students to learn JavaScript through scaffolding lessons that increase in difficulty. Flip your classroom by assigning videos and independent learning tasks, and then have students collaborate in class to perform experiments or create media.

Struggling with differentiation? Individually assign projects by area of interest or level of complexity, adding in supports as needed via videos, guiding questions, and progress monitoring. Build higher-order thinking skills by asking open-ended questions, tracking student progress, and viewing responses in real time. Create classes and assignments on Workbench, in Google Classroom, or by using Clever to sync with your school's learning management system (LMS)." (Common Sense Media Review)
