VALUE-ADDED EXPLANATION

Based on the value-added rating scale above, how would you rate the technology integration
you described, using the selected resource? 2.5
Explain your rating based on the rubric indicators.
I was very close to grading a three because you cannot beat the simplicity and creativity this app allows.
Teachers and students can use it alike and collaborate online. The only reason I did not grade a 3 is
because while it seems to be a great presentation app, it is not the only of its kind.
