Teach & Learn

When you teach – you remember.

Therefore, let students teach - they will remember.

The use of technology keeps students engaged and on task.

Help students remember what they learned by using Apps to ”Show What They Know.”

Teachers will gain an understanding of misconceptions students may have and obtain an insight into what students know.
