Questions teachers ask
How do I use the camera widget in a science lab?
Point your camera at your hands or the experiment so students can see what to do. You can also use it as a document camera to show materials up close.
Can students vote in the poll from their own devices?
Yes, students can scan a QR code or use a link to vote from a tablet or phone. You will see class results live.
What if a student finishes the steps early?
Encourage them to help a classmate or check their work. The checklist makes it easy to see what still needs to be done.
