Boosting Student Activity with the Brisk Extension
Engaging students with online resources can sometimes be a challenge, but the Brisk extension provides a powerful way to boost student activity and interaction with digital content. Whether you’re working with a historical article on the Revolutionary War or any other subject, Brisk helps transform passive reading into an active learning experience.
Why Use Brisk for Student Engagement?
Brisk isn’t just about simplifying texts or pulling key vocabulary—it offers interactive features that encourage students to actively engage with content. The Boost Student Activity tool allows educators to generate structured learning tasks, create interactive prompts, and even monitor student participation in real-time.
How to Set Up Brisk for Student Activity
- Choose Your Content – Select a webpage or article relevant to your lesson. If you want students to have a printed copy, use Ctrl + P to save it as a PDF and print.
- Activate the Brisk Extension – Click the Brisk icon and select Boost Student Activity from the menu.
- Customize the Activity – Choose from available options like Tutor Mode and set the reading level (e.g., 6th grade).
- Generate and Share – Once Brisk creates the activity, you can preview, edit, and share the link or QR code with your students.
What Students See
- The article appears alongside learning objectives to guide their reading.
- A chat feature allows interaction, but messages are visible to the teacher.
- Students engage by answering key questions, such as identifying major historical events.

Why This Matters
Using Brisk ensures students aren’t just skimming an article—they're engaging with the material, applying critical thinking, and staying accountable for their learning. Plus, with built-in monitoring, teachers can provide instant feedback and adjust instruction accordingly.
