ClassFlow
Overview
ClassFlow is a cloud-based teaching software that is designed to make it easier to prepare and deliver dynamic lessons with students.
ClassFlow enables teachers to create cards which include content, activities, or assessments that can be sent to student devices.
Students are then able to view and/or edit the cards and send personalized responses back to the teacher ClassFlow page.
