This course is a nice introduction to the icons and provides a solid foundation for the purpose behind using them.
Christine – COLUMBUS CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT (verified owner) –
Part 1 was great. Part 2 was somewhat repetitive.
Too much self congratulation for me.
Laura – GREGORY-PORTLAND ISD (verified owner) –
I love the ideas of depth and complexity. The icons are great visual ways to help both me and my students challenge our thinking.
Yesenia – LAREDO ISD (verified owner) –
I loved learning how to use the icons in the different subject areas. I also liked learning about the other five icons.
Luanne – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –
It was extremely informative and helped clear up the purpose of the icons and how to use them within a structured day.
Katrina – WESTERVILLE CITY (verified owner) –
This is not what I was expecting. I feel like I needed a beginners course before this one about the icons and would need to continue much more training on them before I would feel ready and able to implement their use in my classroom.
