What is LessonUp?

LessonUp has been built for teachers:

• Equip yourself to teach your best
  
• Create lessons to look forward to
  
• Let’s inspire and support each other

Goed om aan te geven dat LessonUp niet alleen een platform is om lessen te maken. LessonUp bestaat uit drie onderdelen:

- Create lessons to look forward to (lessen van kanalen)

- Let’s inspire and support each other (de community, in de breedste zin van het woord)

- Equip yourself to teach your best (de tool Lessonup)

Examples how to use digital tools into your daily teaching
