A rating of 2 only because I think there is value in the Passion Projects portion of the presentation. This PD seems like something pre-service education majors learn when preparing to become teachers.

Very informative.
Paula – BEXLEY CITY (verified owner) –
I thought there was some very rich content in this course. However, the information was a little overwhelming for a single hour course. A lot to digest, that would take well beyond an hour to really embed and understand. I also found it difficult to relate to math, as the instructor even said that math is a different type of learning at times. I appreciate the effort, but still found it challenging to apply some of the concepts in thinking about my content.
Amy – WESTERN BROWN LOCAL (verified owner) –
