In the Classroom

Highbrow is perfect for differentiated learning. Allow students to choose their own topic and sign up for a course. When complete, choose another topic and start a new course. Modify classroom technology by having students create commercials for finished courses using Powtoon, <a href="/single.cfm?id=13954">reviewed here</a>, and share them using a tool such as TeacherTube, <a href="/single.cfm?id=9419">reviewed here</a>. Challenge students to create a course after a unit of study as a final assessment. Be sure to include this site on your class webpage for students to access both in and outside of class for personal use.
