Let’s reflect on the activity you worked on. Discuss these questions with your partner(s) next to you.
- What did you learn? What was useful/challenging? How could you incorporate some of these techniques into your own class or can you?
- Have you tried any other techniques for using technology to engage students in the classroom? Feel free to share them.

Finally, check out this Additional Resources page to learn more about each topic.
