Are you tired of seeing the same PowerPoint or Google Slide presentations from your students year after year? If so, you can help break the monotony of student projects by encouraging creative ways for students to demonstrate their learning. Come join us as we explore different types of project and presentation tools and methods that will make learning (for them) and grading (for you) more fun. Student samples and lesson ideas will illustrate how projects and presentations can move beyond the slidedeck.

😬 NOTE: There is a section in the video towards the beginning of the session where it seems as if the topic quickly switched gears. I forgot to hit "resume" recording for our discussion on Visible Thinking Routines -- which is a bummer because the feedback from participants was informative. My apologies!
