  1. Kelly – BOLING ISD (verified owner) –

    I thoroughly enjoyed this one!

  2. Grace – LAREDO ISD (verified owner) –

    This presentation gave a more insight on an overview on how introverts are affected by stimuli, how they work and process information. As teachers we should consider all these aspects and give them the opportunity to learn and grow and let them express their work or ideas in a way that will make them feel comfortable in a world of changing stimuli.

    Being a teacher and an introvert is tough, because people make it seem as if I don’t want to participate or interact with others.

    The presenter did such a great job describing the differences between being extroverted.
