E2020 Benefits Students with IEPS
Teachers can show a lecture/lesson on smart board/projector and then students can review the same lesson again when they log in.
Education2020 READS to the students using the E-Reader function
Teachers may go and view answers to quizzes/tests so students can be guided in the right direction when answering.› Example: Algebra Credit Recovery when the
teacher does not know algebra
