🖐️ Chromebooks Create! Empowering Students with Screencast, Canvas & Cursive

Time: 8:00am - 8:50am CT (9:00am - 9:50am ET)
Description: Unlock your students' creative potential using the powerful, built-in tools available on every Chromebook! In this hands‑on session we’ll dive into Screencast for recording explanations, reflections, and narrated slideshows (complete with searchable transcripts); Canvas for digital drawing, labeling diagrams, and quick whiteboard activities; and Cursive for natural handwriting and sketchnoting with a stylus or trackpad. Together we will explore ideas for using these tools to foster student expression, demonstration of understanding, and digital creation skills.
