CIITS and Edivation offer a series of videos showing examples of teachers doing just that — using new technologies to engage and enlighten students in ways never before possible in the classroom.

Follow the instructions below to access the following videos, which can be used as resources for professional growth goals:

See how students learn with tablets using the Nearpod app.

Watch as students research using their tablets and participate in a role play of the taxation of the American colonies, posting their responses to the role play in real time through the Edmodo app.
