Make Lumio Part of Your Classroom Routine

During Whole-Group Instruction

Present your lesson on your Newline while students follow along on their Chromebooks. Add opportunities for students to annotate, respond to questions, or complete digital activities as you teach.

During Independent or Small-Group Work

Let students work through activities independently or in groups while you monitor their progress. Use their responses to identify who may need additional support or clarification.

 
 

Too Many Tabs? Group Them!

Tired of searching through a sea of open tabs while teaching? Chrome Tab Groups let you organize tabs by subject, lesson, or project. Give each group a name and color, then collapse groups you aren't using to keep your browser organized.
