Absolutely the best program for differentiation. Students can design, create and test in an environment that is suitable for them. Many students with Social emotional needs can access design without the noise and dirt of a workshop. great for students lacking the numeracy skills for parametric design. also much easier to use on touch screen, great to modify or replace assessments

I'm searching for "the" program that will do what i want. i have an idea from a video game where the main character posts their journey online and people check in and follow along. That's how i imagine the solution I'm looking for. That is what i imagine the students would be like, if they can get engaged, that's getting harder and harder.

Onshape is a cloud based CAD program. Unlike Inventor that we use extensively, Onshape allows students to work anywhere, anytime, which often results in my more engaged students producing work on their weekends, after work at night and before school. OnShape can be monitored from a teacher perspective, and can be set up to view, comment and suggest edits. This is a great collaborative and peer review tool, as students cannot cause problems for other students. teaching ethical use is important and this program doesn't allow them to test the boundaries.

Scratch is an online programming drag and drop style, that allows students to learn how code works, without necessarily knowing how to code. I use scratch in class to program drones and cars the students build. Students work together on the project and generate movements to meet the "deliveries" required, not only do they design the vehicle to overcome the challenges, they program the route as well.

I love Seesaw, the website looks lame, but it is great, easy to use, doesn't crash and allows student to easily record their learning, and then just download the lot at the end or simply submit the link to me. I don't teach senior, but could see this been used to record the applied subjects, rather than the PowerPoint they complete, or even alongside the PowerPoint.

Seesaw allows me to engage students, satisfies their need to be on their phones, and is easy enough to monitor for use. It is not as deeply engaged with outside school, some students do actually upload their own projects, but unfortunately it is discouraged - too much risk.

The feedback section is a simple comment and react, it works well.

Like all things on my journey, i needed to understand that teaching the students HOW to use this is just as important. They need to learn how to use things for the purpose they are made for. That simple. I was the problem and needed to change my outlook towards the learning process.
