For Joseph Centoni, science class isn’t about delivering content—it’s about designing experiences. As an environmental science teacher at Half Moon Bay High School, he builds lessons that are hands-on, locally relevant, and accessible to every learner. With Stile, he’s found a flexible platform that brings that creative vision to life.

“What I love about teaching is the creativity—designing lessons and coming up with exciting activities that connect to our local environment or to what students care about,” Joseph said.

Stile’s built-in curriculum gives him a strong foundation, while the editing tools make it easy to adapt, customize, or combine lessons to suit different student needs. For AP classes, he can deepen the rigor. For students who need more support, he can simplify, scaffold, or break lessons into smaller chunks.

“There’s a great curriculum there, but also the flexibility to make it my own,” he said. “I can swap in videos, tweak the questions, and tailor it to my students in real time.”

That flexibility translates directly into student engagement. Joseph uses Stile’s Teach Mode to launch discussions, surface misconceptions, and spark student thinking—with less reliance on traditional lecture slides. Real-time feedback tools like live polls, anonymous responses, and model answers give every student a chance to participate, whether or not they raise their hand.

“It’s changed the way I lecture,” he said. “Students are actually interacting with the material, not just sitting and taking notes. Even quieter students are joining the conversation.”

The platform’s design also supports diverse learners, offering videos, visuals, and audio narration that make science more accessible—and more memorable.

“One of my students almost never speaks up,” Joseph said. “But once her written answer appeared anonymously on the screen, she actually raised her hand to share it out loud. That shift in confidence is huge.”

For Joseph, Stile isn’t just about saving time—it’s about making science meaningful.
