As a teacher aiming for effectiveness, here is a list of awesome things you can do when planning lessons for your students.
One of the best things about the Edves portal is that It allows teachers to go the extra mile for their students…allowing them to connect new knowledge to previous ones as they are received by their students. This way, teachers can easily and securely link new lessons with past lessons, guaranteeing availability of adequate materials needed for that lesson and a defined assessment for a particular class.
