Come explore this new tool that allows teachers to create reading assignments with all the built in tools to annotate, answer embedded questions, and many more.  Use this across all content areas by using free ELA, Science, and Social Studies texts from the company or upload your own materials from PDF or internet resources.  We will look at the already aligned library of assignments as well as how to personalize and create our own assignments to use with your students next fall.  This session we will examine what is available in the free version, and expose you to possibilities of the premium version if your district will support you.

Do you want one tool that allows you to send out quick clicker questions,  drawing responses,  or will let you take your PDF and make it interactive?  Formative is a tool that allows teachers to collect data from student devices in numerous different ways.  This is powerful for iPads, Chromebooks, or any internet accessible device!  Are you a one to one classroom or have a center of devices?  Want a fun way to utilize those smart phones sitting in your students’ pockets?  This is a tool to check out.   Get real time responses from your students as they work.  We will spend time exploring the instant response uses as well as creating your own assessments that you will have in your library ready to use with students.

When facilitating a lesson in your classroom these tools will allow you to broadcast your lesson on each device, along with projecting it up front.  Students in the back can read it.  You can incorporate response questions within the lesson creating an environment where all students are engaged and held accountable.  Join us as we explore these tools, using and creating lessons for your classroom.
