Explore three online tools that have proven to be a game-changer for educators worldwide.

Compare and contrast two Google Slides add-ons that make presentations more interactive and inclusive, giving each and every student a voice.
Using already-made activities, customizing them (or not!) and creating your own.

What to do while everybody logs in to an interactive presentation and prevent other students from getting bored or impatient in the meantime.

Exploring sample activities and trying them out.

When to use student-paced and live versions.

How to track students’ progress.

How to make your slides fun and personalized.
Participants will see and try the online tools presented in this webinar (Zoom) as both teachers and students to see the benefits of differentiating instruction with them. It is advisable (but not compulsory!) to have a second device for this session or to know how to split screens.
