Hillside Public Schools teachers engaged in powerful learning with Prisms, exploring the new platform dashboard and uncovering the origins of Prisms as a tool for immersive STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) learning! Teachers also had the opportunity to dive into a lesson of their choice for this school year, sparking rich discussions on how Prisms can deepen understanding and bring complex concepts to life.
