Sway Cool Student Projects

August 3, 2021 ♦ 6:00pm - 8:00pm ET

Moderators: Ruth Okoye, Stephanie Bass, and Karen Streeter

Session Description: Looking for great ideas on how to measure learning with engaging student projects? Look no further! This workshop will introduce you to a wide range of projects designed with Sway, a free edtech design tool for students in grades 2-12. This visually dynamic, intuitive tool easily combines text, images, designs, audio, video to spark student creativity. It’s shareable, can be collaborative, looks fantastic, and is accessible on any device, making it a perfect addition to your 1:1 initiative toolbox. Learn the basics in minutes and translate your new learning into powerful formative and summative student projects that focus on content rather than bells and whistles. This session is appropriate for teachers at all technology levels.

As a result of this session teachers will:

1. Learn basic use of the free Sway tool;

2. Understand what elements must be present to have an authentic, successful show-what-you-know student project; and

3. Plan for the use of Microsoft Sway in the classroom.
