A potential lesson with example deck can be as follows:

1. Students connect to your classroom
   • Spark students’ curiosity  with the current lesson on exploring Fractionia
2. Teacher Sync Mode – you are in control!
   • Introduction slides to roughly gauge students’ understanding of prior concepts with the use of real-time response apps such as Placemarker.
   • You may also use the Buzzer or Randomizer apps to select students to answer verbally in the classroom.
3. Students’ Self Exploration – set the classroom to Free Mode.
   • For personalized learning, students are able to choose their own paths to complete the lessons with varying difficulties.
   • The paths contain slides with questions and also Study Set activities.
   • When students are familiar with the Study Sets, they may challenge each other in real-time too!
   • The Teacher’s view will show the students avatars’ location on the map. This helps you track the paths and activities that have been completed. You may also display this real-time map on the projector screen.
4. Class-wide Activity – launch the Draw and Guess app.
   • This is a very fun formative assessment activity where a student will be chosen at random to draw a term from the Study Set, while the other students guess. Expect a lot of giggles in your classroom.
5. End of Lesson – generate and print Report
   • Use the Report app to produce a centralized printable report with all the students’ answers.
   • Share the Deck to your students by sharing the Deck link or embed it on your class website.
