Classroom 2.0 LIVE is so fortunate to have so many awesome, passionate educators join us each week to help us learn and grow in our profession, and we have another great special guest this week! Steven Anderson (@web20classroom) is returning to Classroom 2.0 LIVE and I know you are going to be charged up and excited as you hear Steven sharing a fantastic new classroom tool called ClassFlow. ClassFlow is a free, cloud-based tool that enables teachers to create lessons, deliver interactive content across multiple devices, and assess student understanding. With ClassFlow, teachers can build and access interactive lesson plans from any web browser. In addition, it allows teachers to foster student engagement by connecting mobile devices such as tablets and laptops to classroom displays and interactive whiteboards. Teachers can use real-time student responses to instantly adjust any lesson plan when it matters the most – in the moment of learning. Steven will demonstrate how ClassFlow works and provide examples of ways it is being used in classrooms across all grade levels. Steven lives in Winston-Salem, NC and is an educator, speaker, bBlogger, #Edchat Co-Creator, author, learning evangelist, Dad, Edublogs Twitterer Of The Year, ASCD Emerging Leader, Top 50 Innovators in Edu just to mention a few of his amazing accomplishments, and we can't wait to learn together with him about this great tool!
