This may be the best course I have taken on here and I cannot wait to take the Part 2! So many take-aways that I can use in my classroom. Maybe consider a different divide between the 3 modules so it is not necessarily right at the time mark but rather where the topic switches over.

I really liked the 3×3 and 4×4 activities before a written assignment to get the students ideas first and then comes the writting.
