Jacquelyn – CEDAR HILL ISD (verified owner) –
Great content but too long. 3 stars because directions to access the next module on my Chromebook didn’t work. I had to figure out on my own how to get to the next module, which was the opposite of the instructions. Instructions stated to close Module 1 window first, which takes you back to the home screen. Then you were to refresh the home screen to get to the next module. Didn’t work. I had to leave Module 1 and succeeding modules open, and then click on the home tab before I could access the next module. Wasted time trying to following the directions, which caused Module 1 to loop.
