Quick Guide to Using Albert to Supplement Class Discussions

We recently talked with superstar teacher Brad Clarke about his use of Albert in a discussion-centered classroom.  We were so inspired, we created a guide to help you do the same!

An advantage of a discussion-centered classroom is that students can dig deep into the content, engage in enriching conversations, and learn from one another.  One thing that’s not so great is that without formal lecture, it can be hard to ensure that the entire curriculum is covered. Regardless of how often you facilitate discussions,  Albert is the perfect tool to supplement your classroom. Assigning work on Albert means students will never miss a beat  — especially if the material is not covered fully in class.
