Creating Student-Driven Instruction with Lumio
The more technology advances, the more independent today's learners can become! Lumio, formerly known as SMART Learning Suite Online, enables learners to take control of their learning in a multitude of ways. From contributing to workspace activities, to accessing lessons outside of class, the level of ownership students can take changes everything. Join us as we walk through what's possible when students are able to access lessons from anywhere, at any time, and on any device!
Lumio, formerly know as SMART Learning Suite Online (SLSO) gives teachers a place to create classroom activities, assessments, and enhance archived lessons to extend learning. Join us as we walk through Lumio features that will help you to add an interactive spin to your static lessons that will spark engagement in your students. We’ll explore ready-made activity templates and complimentary lesson files that can be easily adapted to fit your classroom!
During this activity, students will activate prior knowledge of standard and non-standard units of measurement and gain new understandings about the need for standard measurement. Students will practice measuring using virtual manipulatives on handouts pushed out through Lumio, formerly known as SMART Learning Suite Online. Through interactive handouts, students will apply their knowledge of standard and non-standard units to measure various household (or classroom) objects in two different units and record their results on a digital handout.
