- Gather ing perspectives on an idea or concept from the students.
- Sharing new or exciting events for students.

This was an intersting concept. I like that you can add a video, picture... and then add a voice and have other people respond or make comments about it. I also like that you can use it with a smartboard and let the kids draw with it.
