Virtual Academy highlights Engagee and Classkick, and district-provided devices
Summary
Presenters said Virtual Academy teachers use the Engagee platform for small-group tables and a bird's-eye class view and Classkick as a virtual whiteboard; the district provides devices and hotspots to students.
Presenter described the Engagee platform as enabling teachers to group students into "tables" and to maintain a bird's-eye view of the whole class, while allowing targeted interaction with groups or individual tables. The presenter said this is the first year the school is using Engagee alongside Classkick, which functions like "a virtual whiteboard" where teachers can see student progress and differentiate instruction.
The presentation also stated the district provides each student with an iPad and that South Texas College students in associate programs receive MacBooks. The transcript did not specify the vendor contracts, funding sources, or the quantities of devices distributed.
