Not engaging.
Damaris – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –
Very interesting.
Sofia – SPRING ISD (verified owner) –
I think this course is beneficial for new teachers.
Rachel – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –
I feel like this was catered more towards students of all learning levels and not to ELLs in particular. I also felt like this was a lot of information that should be already known by educators.
Peggy – BOERNE ISD (verified owner) –
Gets a little long and wordy
Amy – ECTOR COUNTY ISD (verified owner) –
This course was very informative
Shae – GOOSE CREEK CISD (verified owner) –
I thought it was very informative and enjoyed the “story time” element of the presentation.
Jennifer – SPRING ISD (verified owner) –
I feel like I have taken this course before – it doesn’t seem to be fully in line with the concept of visual literacy and is pretty generic. Perhaps this is the wrong link to the title of this course?
LYNETTE D – SOCORRO ISD (verified owner) –
Presenter was super engaging. Had a sense of humor and was easy to follow. I tend to “check out” after a few minutes of professional development, but today was different. To the point and stories offered were meaningful. So glad I chose this module.
Juan – BASTROP ISD (verified owner) –
Very informative
