Purpose: Teachers are always on the look out for tools that allow students to create, be creative, and build prsentations that they can be proud of. In this session we will share 3 tools that are engaging for students and easy for teachers. These tools all charge large fees to buisnesses who use their products, but value teachers and education and show their support by providing teachers with free accounts.
Canva, MySimpleShow, and AdobeSpark are all amazing creation tools that kids love to use in class...and outside of class too!
We will share lessons and student creations, brainstorm ideas, and give "play time" for attendees to dig in and create with the comfort of supportive instructors. By the end of our time together attendees will have ideas for integrating these tools, have at least one product they can use when school starts back, and have a network of educators to bounce ideas off of beyond the conference time.
