Tech Tools
Lino
Lino would be a great tool to have students use to collaborate on projects and to also generate ideas. Since you just need a link to start adding to the canvas, you can post the link in Google Classroom or in an LMS and students can begin adding and curating content.
You can click on the link below to see a Lino that was used during a CoP meeting earlier this year. The video that follows walks you through set up and usage too!
