Katie – Bulloch County Schools (verified owner) –
This course had a lot of good information. The main reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is I am not sure how to use all of them with my content. I would be interested in having some training with the information that is related directly to my content. I felt a lot of the strategies could be used in an English/Language Arts class.
