Why use it?
- We can increase accessibility for students (using Google Read&Write and Mote)
- We gather evidence very quickly about what our students know and do not know
- We can analyze data on the fly (organized for us!)
- We have clear information about what we need to do next in our teaching
What can we do with it?
- Peer and self-assessment
- Create auto-graded quizzes, tests, and surveys
- Gather anecdotal notes/evidence on the fly
- Gather student voice/input
- Digital escape rooms
- Track student growth, provide feedback, and allow for re-do

Why use it?
- An engaging way for students to take ownership over their learning
- Teachers can design units of learning in one slide deck for simple access
- Students can collaborate live with the teacher
What can we do with it?
- Students collaborate on tasks live
- Deconstruct samples of work to create success criteria
- Teachers gather evidence from students using observation, conversation, and product
- Students can design presentations or collaborate as a team to create visual representations of their knowledge
- Teachers can design slide decks that include instructions, success criteria, and opportunities to demonstrate learning for students who may be asynchronous for some reason
- Create hyperlinked learning opportunities for students to move through at their own pace
