Q: Does Inspiring Connections provide digitally enhanced lessons?

A: For this multimodal series, digital activities are an important component. We thoughtfully include elements of technology that enhance the student learning experience. As technology evolves, we will substitute new digital activities in ways that best support and fit CPM pedagogy.
