Session description

This hands-on session will explore ways to use various technologies to engage students in effective questioning. Come learn through play as we experience how to use Desmos Polygraph, Adobe Express, Chat GPT, MagicSchool.ai, Google Slides, Peardeck, Microsoft Flip and more to develop strategies for higher-level questioning.

Purpose & objective

The purpose of this session is to provide a hands-on experience in utilizing technology to involve students in higher-level thinking and questioning skills. As the classroom and workforce become increasingly hybrid, it is important that our students can thrive and share their voices using digital resources. In this session will have an immersive look at a variety of digital platforms I have used with students including Desmos Polygraph, Adobe Express, Chat GPT, MagicSchool.ai, Google Slides, Peardeck, and Microsoft Flip. We will experience the resources hands-on as well as the teacher resources for instruction going forward. As evidence of success for this session, you will leave with ideas, strategies examples, and a network of teacher collaborators to share ideas throughout the year.
