Gangwer is a fascinating presenter. He always has a lot of information and always makes me laugh. That said, I sometimes struggle because he covers so many topics across what I feel is a broad spectrum of education. But he always has good ideas and helps me think about the big picture of my classroom. His visual literacy class has made me think about the decisions I make in my own classroom and the one’s I will make when I return.
