E2020 Set Up @ Camden CHS

E2020 Benefits Students with IEPS

Teachers can show a lecture/lesson on smart board/projector and then students can review the same lesson again when they log in.

Education2020 READS to the students using the E-Reader function

Teachers may go and view answers to quizzes/tests so students can be guided in the right direction when answering.› Example: Algebra Credit Recovery when the

teacher does not know algebra
