Beecher Feature

An Engagement Tool

Another term for Lightbox is interactive ebook...think of it as an educational platform for your content or topic.

The custom features create a student-centered learning experience in an easy to use digital environment. This new resource can help students improve comprehension, vocabulary, and engagement all within the same interface.

The new Lightboxes can be used on any device (yes, iPads!) and reinforce material learned through slideshows, quizzes, and keywords.

Bonus: we have unlimited, multi-user access!! If you have 30 students studying the same topic at the same time - all may open the Lightbox (ebook) at the same time!
