Meaning that they looked for lessons that gave students hands-on experiences and movement. Tech products like Lumio offer engaging tools such as a spinning wheel and moveable manipulatives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Working with a school that is moving towards classroom laptop carts, Monica enjoys sharing Lumio since every student doesn\u2019t need a device to make lessons engaging. Another great way to engage students with technology in the classroom would be Flipgrid videos.\u00a0<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/i>Click To Tweet<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/shakeuplearning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/listen-on-apple-podcasts-badge-300x77.jpg\"){kind=icon}
