Audio: Narrator speaking 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 chose, I know you will find them quite useful.
