A deeper look into how Wayground is used during instruction

Wayground provides a way for students to interact with lessons while slides are being presented. Not only does it give several methods of responding to questions, but it also gives the teacher a wheel to choosing students to participate in discussion, immediate accuracy scores for each question, and notifications for when students are leaving the site to ensure proper participation. Through Wayground, teachers can implement extra accommodations like extended time and grading changes.
