What is an interactive livestream?

A livestream session is a 40-minute lesson, taught by a team of professional educators, and broadcast to multiple classes at the same time via YouTube Live. Students will interact with the educators through hands-on activities. Teachers will have access to optional extension activities for students to do in between each session. These options are great for classes who may meet asynchronously because links of the recordings will be shared.

Extension activities for students

Teachers can find optional extension activities that are designed to be self-directed by the students or class group work, and may be built upon by the teacher if they desire. Activities range from 5-30 minutes long.
