SESSION DESCRIPTION
Tools like Kahoot make learning fun and engaging for learners while allowing instructors to quickly assess learner’s progress. With so many tools to choose from, like Kahoot, Quizlet, Pear Deck, Mentimeter, and so many more, what are others in literacy programs using? How are they using it? What works well?
Join us for a discussion with guest presenters and Tech Q&A to share and explore how instructors use game-based tools with learners in synchronous and asynchronous environments.
