Dartmouth’s Fab-Four Canvas team shows how we’re using Piazza, Zaption, Lecture Tools, our custom Photo Roster, and other apps across the curriculum. This is not a sit-down session! Be prepared to bring your triumphs and challenges. Participate in an ed-tech ecosystem share-a-thon. Together we’ll develop an ed-tech ecosystem map.

Skype)
• Class-source mid-term questions
• Considerations:

6. Student feedback on Piazza
“Piazza helped solidify the concepts from the readings. It
encouraged one to think more about the reading and discover
connections between each week's theme.”
“We had the chance to reflect on our readings and post
questions. This really helped me think critically about the
material- especially in answering other student's questions
and seeing how their responses compared to mine.”
“I could post a question/answer anytime. Also, as each
question had its own space for answers, it was visibly easy to
connect the answers to the questions.”
