In this workshop, Mrs. Beck talked about the use of LiveBinders and how they can be helpful in the classroom. It is a great way to get rid of excess paper use and put everything on the cloud. It is also very user-friendly because of its intuitiveness. It looks just like a 3-ring binder, but in digital form. If I were to use it in the future as a teacher, it would be a great way to upload any documents, homework, etc. and provide both parents and students with the link so that they can access it outside of the classroom. You can also download the extension for your web browser (called LiveBinder It), and when you see something online, you can easily put it into a binder.
The second workshop I attended was Formative Assessment with Pear Deck. We learned about creating a new presentation/deck on the website. I really liked this workshop because you can make the presentations before hand and include questions that students can answer on their mobile devices. It also makes the presentation more engaging and interactive. Pear Deck was very similar to Nearpod, but with Pear Deck, you don't need to download any apps or anything; it can be accessed using the web browser.
