| Workshop Full Desc | Students and teachers who use Sora and know how to use its tools LOVE it! eBooks and audiobooks downloaded with a wi-fi connection can then be accessed for 14 days without wi-fi. Listen or read on the bus, in the car, at home, or on a walk. Take notes, highlight, adjust screen contrast, change publisher's font to your own preferred style, and electronically share insights with others.
Forget Teachers Pay Teachers! TeachingBooks provides lessons, author interviews, book trailers, vocabulary games and more. Discover how these two products work awesomely together. This training session is applicable to teachers who provide instruction to ELLs, MLLs, students with IEPs and 504s. |
