✏️ M2 Teacher Reflection: Chat With M2

Available for M2 users

After an M2 teaching activity, you can reflect in two ways:

• Chat With M2 — a private text conversation about your session, on web or mobile
• Reflection — a spoken self-reflection after the activity, started from the Reflect button on My Takeaways

You can use either one, or both. Your own Reflection is not the same as assigning a reflection to students or other participants. See How Do I Assign a Reflection to a Group after an M2 Session?
