📺 Ditch Summit: Only 5 days left!

📺 WATCH: Unleash student creativity with ScreenPal

ScreenPal is a set of screen capture tools you and your students can use.

Sure, you can record your screen and capture screenshots.

But that’s just scratching the surface …

• Teachers (and students!) can show and teach with the screen recorder

• Students can create video anywhere using ScreenPal’s video messaging Chrome extension

• Students can create storyboards with ScreenPal to show what they’ve learned in your class

• Teachers can create quizzes in ScreenPal videos and see individual student and whole-class results

Oh, did I mention ScreenPal is the new name for the former Screencast-O-Matic?

You’ll love what you and your students can create with ScreenPal.

PS: Get quick and easy tutorials on this great resource page created by ScreenPal’s Sarah Eiler!

PS #2: ScreenPal has a free version, but its full-featured paid versions are incredibly affordable. Our special Ditch Summit discount makes the Deluxe EDU plan only $1.40 per month! Click here to get details and lock it in while it lasts.

☝🏼 REMINDER: Grab certificates and notes before it’s too late!

Sure, the sessions in Ditch Summit are fantastic — and so are the ideas you get from them.

But let’s be honest …

If we need professional development hours to renew our teacher’s licenses, having those certificates of completion is CRUCIAL.

(Plus, if we can’t watch ALL of the sessions we want, the notes let us scan the important points!)

You can only generate certificates of completion until the summit closes on Jan. 7.

So don’t miss out!

That goes for all of the resources in the Ditch Summit — the videos, the notes, the special discounts … everything.

Do everything you need by Jan. 7 — because after that, the summit is over!
