Share links with students in one place they can always find

Linkbry lets you curate readings, videos, tools and worksheets in folders and share each collection with students as one clean page, with no student sign-up.

In short

Build a resource library for your classes in Linkbry (a folder per course, unit or cohort) and publish it as a read-only page students open without an account, with an optional password and end date. Embed it in Notion or any course page that accepts an iframe, let Linkbry flag dead links, and plan with colleagues in a shared workspace. One teacher can do all of this on the Free plan.

What it’s for

What educators use Linkbry for

Week to week

How it works in practice

  1. 01

    Bring in what you have

    Import your browser bookmarks with their folders intact, then create a folder per course with a subfolder per week or topic.

  2. 02

    Publish the course page

    Share the course folder as a read-only page with a clear title. Students open it without an account.

  3. 03

    Put it where students look

    Paste the embed code into your course page, or the embed URL into a Notion Embed block. If embeds aren’t allowed, post and pin the link.

  4. 04

    Add as the term goes

    Add readings and videos each week. The page updates, and the link checker flags anything taken down or moved.

  5. 05

    Close out after the exam

    Exam-prep pages can carry a password and an expiry date, so they close once the exam is over.

A shared Linkbry page as a visitor sees it: a folder title, a search box and link cards with preview images, grouped into subfolders.
01

Why links get lost over a term

Every channel teachers use for links is built for something else, so the links end up scattered across all of them.

  • Course announcements scroll away as new ones are posted
  • Links in emails and slides can’t be updated once sent
  • Handouts with URLs have to be retyped
  • The school website’s resources page is edited by one person, rarely
  • Each teacher keeps their best resources in their own bookmarks
02

Curate resources for students without student accounts

Publish any folder, subfolders included, as a read-only page. Students open it from any browser without signing up, and the page has its own search box. Give it a title and description (“Year 10 Chemistry: Unit 3”), add a password or an expiry date if you need to, and turn it off whenever you like. Notes, archived links and private links are never shown, so your own notes on each resource stay yours. A page shows up to 1,000 links.

03

Put the list where students already are

Every shared folder has an embed code: paste it into any course page that accepts an iframe, or paste the embed URL into a Notion page with Notion’s Embed block. The embedded list updates when the folder does. If your platform doesn’t allow embeds, post the page’s link once and pin it.

04

Build the library with colleagues

A shared workspace gives a department one library instead of one per teacher. Tag resources by level, topic and course; import the bookmarks you already have from Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, Brave or Arc with their folders intact; and use the activity feed to see what colleagues have added.

05

Padlet, Wakelet, Symbaloo or Linkbry?

They do different jobs. Padlet is a collaborative wall where students post; Wakelet builds visual collections that students can contribute to; Symbaloo arranges links as tiles on a start page. Linkbry is for teacher-curated libraries: nested folders, notes, search, automatic link checking and a clean page to share. Students read it; they don’t post to it.

06

A note on student privacy

Shared pages don’t require students to sign in, and share stats count page views and clicks per link without recording who the visitor was. As with any tool, check your school’s policy before using it with students.

07

What it costs

A teacher working alone can use the Free plan: 100 links, shared pages, passwords and expiry dates included. To plan with colleagues in one workspace, Pro is $10 a month per owner or editor, and viewers are free.

FAQ

Questions educators ask.

How do I share multiple links with students at once?

Put them in a Linkbry folder and share the folder: students get one link to a page with all of them, grouped by subfolder and searchable. Add a link to the folder later and it appears on the page automatically.

Do students need an account?

No. Anyone with the link (and the password, if you set one) can open a shared page. Students only need an account if they want to save a copy of the folder into their own library.

Can I put the resource list inside my course page?

Yes, if the page accepts an iframe embed: copy the embed code from the share dialog. In Notion, paste the embed URL into an Embed block. Otherwise, post the page’s link.

Is Linkbry free for teachers?

The Free plan covers one person with up to 100 links, including shared pages with passwords and expiry dates. Working with colleagues in one workspace needs Pro, at $10 a month per editor.

Is Linkbry a Padlet or Wakelet alternative?

For teacher-curated resource lists, yes: folders, search, notes and link checking, shared as one page. If you want students to post to a board together, Padlet or Wakelet fit that better.

Can students add links to the page?

Not to a shared page; it’s read-only. People you invite into a Pro workspace as editors can add links.
