There were a lot of great resources in this course. I believe it would have been more helpful to be able to see the screen that in person participants were able to see because many times things would be referenced that online participants could not see for websites and examples.

I liked the presenter and her enthusiasm for engaging student involvement. I think this particular presentation is a bit dated with some of the apps that she suggested. She made a lot of strong points that I wrote down to reflect upon how I can use them in a secondary class.
