Session 3: Introduction to Verso

Verso app is a free app or site that gives teachers the ability to create a challenge (inquiry-based learning activity) from audio, video, images and embed content from other sources (YouTube, Vimeo, Dropbox, URL). Students participate anonymously, and each response invites further discussion by classmates. Students are required to submit their own ideas before gaining access to other responses.

Teachers can measure students' understanding and engagement, and can view participation data that shows quantity and quality of student engagement.

This session will walk participants through the set-up of Verso, different ways it can be used in the classroom. Our goal is to provide one-to-one support for colleagues to help facilitate the set-up and understanding of the application for immediate application in the classroom.

(Open to all participants).
