After this session, participants will be able to:
Identify and select digital tools (e.g., Jamboard, Mentimeter, Google Slides, Blooket) that support cooperative learning and student engagement.
Design and facilitate collaborative, technology-enhanced activities that promote student agency, critical thinking, and teamwork.
Apply practical strategies to implement goal-setting, reflection, and peer collaboration in both small and whole-group settings.
Create a ready-to-use plan or activity that integrates technology to foster meaningful, student-centered cooperative learning in their classroom.
