Narrartion: Have you ever
wondered how you could actively
engage your students? Have you
ever wanted to let your students
take ownership of their learning?
By reading Project CRISS and
implementing the strategies
outlined in the book, you can
achieve those goals. These
strategies can be implemented in
a variety of modes high tech or
low tech. Whichever way you
