Engagement Tools
The difference between a quiet room and a buzzing one is often a single tool used well. This track covers live quizzes, interactive slides, and quick polls.
Rule of thumb
Use an engagement tool to make thinking visible — not just for points. The goal is every student responding, not just the fastest hand.
What you'll learn
- When a live quiz helps and when it's just noise
