Are you looking to reinvigorate digital learning in your school? Do you have classroom sets of devices from remote learning that you'd like to put to use for in person learning? This interactive session will take participants through a series of learning activities that can be implemented immediately, and will increase engagement, social emotional learning, creativity, and joy in the classroom. We will cover a variety of apps, focusing on multiple uses for each app so that you leave comfortable with each tool. All apps we use are free for educators and students, and can be brought back to school with ease. Engaged learners are academically successful learners, and technology is a powerful tool to engage all students.
