I liked it but perhaps if it was less apps and more quality. This was mainly for an audio learner, only having a picture of the logos is not enough for my visual learning. I prefer watching Tik Tok videos of teachers showing off different apps they use while using a share screen and explaining what they do along with artifacts of actual things they have done.
