I think it is great but I did not have the printed materiales he was talking about so I could not follow many of his references.
Jennifer – BURLESON ISD (verified owner) –
I think some of the theories mentioned have recently come under scrutiny (left brain vs right brain, Gardener’s theory of multiple intelligences). And some of the suggested activities weren’t really all that innovative – many I had seen or heard of before. But overall not a terrible course.
