In this session, we will learn programs and apps to create content, engage students, and assess their understanding. You will have an opportunity to observe programs and apps available to engage the students. I will be available to help you create your own lessons using the programs. You can bring your computer and IPad to get the most out of the session.
This is a great tool for student engagement and assessment in the classroom. You can scan the responses without the students needing any devices.
