My Project

Grammarly help with academic integrity, ensuring that students have a similarity report and can avoid plagiarism (important in English class). It also makes suggestions and corrections to writing to help ensure the strength of the writing. This can help increase skill when it comes to writing in all areas, not just in my class.

Pear Deck is an online engagement tool that allows lessons to be differentiated on the spot and gives every student the opportunity to interact with the content.

They get takeaways from the lesson digitally that can be used as notes later.
