  11. Chris – ECTOR COUNTY ISD (verified owner) –

    The course outlines how to differentiate the work for students and how to think outside of the Box.

  12. Mary Kate – ELYRIA CITY SCHOOLS (verified owner) –

    Great tool for ELA

  13. Cheryl – HARMONY SCHOOL OF EXCELLENCE – HOUSTON NORTH DISTRICT (verified owner) –

    I found this very difficult to follow. The content was there, but it felt like a long list, everything was rushed through and had poor transition from subject to subject. The examples were fine, but many times, the focus seemed more on the summary of the books/examples and not on what the purpose or assignment was. Thus, I found it difficult to discover what I was suppose to learn from the example given.

    This is a very interesting course with many ideas on how to not only use books in the classroom but how to have the students be more engaged.

  16. Roel – RAYMONDVILLE ISD (verified owner) –

    I feel that this course is more for elementary and middle students, and not so much for high school students. Also the subjects can be factor on how you can use this information given to us my this presentation.
