What are Eduprotocols?

EduProtocols are instructional lesson frames that are designed to engage students in learning through critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and creativity. EduProtocols can be used with any subject, any grade level, kindergarten through adult. Once students know the protocol, just rinse and repeat with any content! Are they really that simple? Yes!

what is a thick slide?

A Thick Slide is a deconstructed paragraph. Thick Slides allow students to determine what is important about a topic after reading, and then present and communicate that information both visually and verbally
