I learned a lot taking this course. I learned how students should take control of an assignment and how us teachers should only scaffold to complete the learning. I like how he used the Zoom Out and expand a little each day a picture. I think this will allow the kids to be more eager to learn and put more thought into the assignment.

This is a great course on how to teach gifted learners. They want information that is going to help prepare them for the future opposed to just preparing them for the present.

I like the emphasis of letting go as a teacher and guiding the students to become self paced learners so that they are ready for their future.
