Technology & Learning Cohort

My first adventure into Explain Everything went really well! I turned the old poster board project into an Explain Everything project and it was so much more powerful. The students did a great job- and I was able to take a back seat and let them navigate through the ap (thanks to the work they had already done in math class!!). I created a rubric for the project that can be used for any type of digital project.
Check it out and use it if you can!
