Sway makes it easy for you to create and share an interactive and multimedia-rich canvas that brings your ideas to life. It\u2019s been amazing to see the variety of Sways created by educators, students, travelers, hobbyists, small business employees and more to share their passions, stories and expertise. This blog series is all about highlighting great examples of Sways across a variety of different scenarios.<\/p>\n

In today\u2019s blog, we\u2019ll celebrate a number of interesting ways that educators are using Sway. Educators are always looking for new, easy-to-use tools to liven up the classroom and enhance the quality of their teaching. Sway is helping teachers engage their students, parents, and other teachers in exciting new ways\u2014all while saving time and helping them focus on the important work they do in and around the classroom. Here are some highlights:<\/p>\n

Alex Smilovitis (@mistersmilo) has been creating a number of Sways, for a number of different math units. From surface area to volume, percentages to profits and discounts, math comes to life in a new way with Sway. Here is a particularly awesome Sway by Alex, which brings a student through the fundamentals of quadratic function graphing. It includes dynamic visuals showing the effect that equation changes have on graphical output, interactive flashcard problems and a practice problem set (and answers!) at the end:<\/p>\n
