I’m sorry. Although I found some of the content useful, it was content overload. Maybe just pick the top 10 instead of trying to use every letter in the alphabet. I found myself daydreaming as the speaker went on ad on, and really had to work at remaining focused. How about a video to break it up, or showing examples of student work. What have you found to e the most successful? Some of these ideas were a bit boring. Why not cut some and only talk about the best of the best.
