Although I don’t particularly like the graphics (some of the “sprite” options), I found this to be very interactive. I know for me the learning curve is steep.

In exploring some of the other resources, I really enjoyed Padlet and I want to learn more about Flipgrid. Looking forward to my brain exploding with all…[Read more]
