Holli – ROYSE CITY ISD (verified owner) –
I feel like this could have been a lot shorter. I feel like the time alloted for some of the quizzes or reflections was too short and I was not able to finish typing my thoughts before the answer was automatically submitted. The navigation to reach the resource documents would be better if you could pull them up on screen at the same time as you are taking your quizzes or doing your reflections as to refer to the information listed versus having to go back and forth between tabs.
