Tools for Engagement
10:30 am - 11:20 am CT
Room: B11d
There are lots of techniques and tools that you can use for students to demonstrate learning beyond
just slideshow presentations. One of the challenges of technology is how much time is required by the teacher prior to
getting kids engaged in the platform and the learning. This session features a wide variety of different tools to
enhance learning and engage students in your classroom with a unique rating scale that measures both the “teacher
lift” and levels of student engagement.
