Upper Peninsula Teaching & Learning Conference - 2026

Using a custom, web‑based tool—SwiftFlock (swiftflock.app)—you can create well‑matched groups that respect competencies, gender identities, existing friendships, physical location, or any other rule you define; once the groups are formed you can instantly assign discussion prompts, capture real‑time conversations, and post a follow‑up survey to see if the activity improved targeted competencies, and in this session we’ll walk through a quick live demo of the tool, showing how to set up matching criteria, launch an activity, and collect analytics while also exploring what makes a truly well‑matched group.
