Why should teachers use it?

Teachers should use this tool because it is a different way to engage with students. The teacher is able to create a template for students to interact with and record their answers. It works as an assessing tool and a fun way for students to use their own device. This is a next level option for whiteboards in the classroom and can be incorporated in all subjects and grades.
