Are you competing with the screen for students’ attention? Does it feel as if students need to be entertained to stay attentive and focused in class because of the constant entertainment students receive with their devices? By utilizing the device as a tool for engagement, teachers are leveraging their students’ connection to the device for learning. This session will explore websites and apps that can be used in any content area with students of all ages and also address ISTE Standards for Students. Participants will have the opportunity to use polling, visual representations, social media, and collaboration in diverse technological ways that can be immediately used in their classroom and are sure to increase student engagement.
