I thought it was an excellent course overall. It would have been better if he would have reminded us what the 11 icons were at the beginning as well as making it more content specific. In addition the Quiz questions I found half of them to be confusing and not worded well.

Michelle – SCHERTZ-CIBOLO-U CITY ISD (verified owner) – January 2, 2021

I really liked the frames and how to use them in my classroom. I have learned about the icons before so I knew what he was referring to but it would be nice to have refresher on the icons or a handout.

I enjoyed the examples of deductive and inductive frames that can be used as well as the media used, i.e. the Amazon Prime commercial.
