This course provided a variety of tools that can be used for the Gifted Learners [to help engage and grow knowledge] but also for non-gifted learners. The activities and tools/ideas provided are great ways of engaging all students without them feeling as though they are doing busy work but can really gain better knowledge of the material and teacher can gain insight in various ways of student understanding.
