Lumio

Lumio is an interactive resource for the classroom. I recommend Lumio over Class Flow because it is very easy to use and is an extremely effective way to get students involved in the curriculum that is being taught in a classroom. Teachers can use this website by creating interactive activities which include fun games, assessments, polls, and lesson plans for students to be hands-on with.

5/5 because it is extremely user-friendly and I truly enjoyed making the lesson and have a feeling that my students would enjoy interacting with it more too. The layout it better than Class flow. I also like how you can take interactive parts from other teachers' projects.
