Are you frustrated when trying to find engaging virtual resources aligned with your curriculum and standards?

You know you need engaging technology resources that help students achieve learning outcomes, but what does that look like in the classroom and distance learning? 

I know you are tired of students CONSUMING information when using technology. You need already prepared resources to push out to students, aligned to your objectives, and allow students to showcase their depth of knowledge. 

I developed these digital interactive notebooks to go with my folktale units and allow students to CREATE content.
