Empower Learners

This website was designed to introduce teachers to at least a dozen digital teaching tools to empower students choice and ownership of their learning. The tools include a variety of web-based applications and sites that teachers and students can use to facilitate learning, manage work completion, provide opportunities for individual growth and improvement, and encourage individuality with options for student choice. The majority of these applications and sites allow students access primarily through their school-issued gmail accounts and for free, though a few require users to set up accounts and may have a small fee.
