I lost some understanding of what was being stated or the definition of an area right near the middle of the presentation, but I received clarity as the presenter moved forward. I became confused about the difference in depth and complexity per the prompts , but in the end it all came together.

This course was interesting, but I thought it would have gone more in “depth” in regards to providing more specific examples of prompts and how they can apply to students’ lives outside of the classroom.
Gerardo – LAREDO ISD (verified owner) –
Very informative. Lessons are geared towards elementary and middle school students, but the concepts can easily be used and should be used with all grade levels. Worth a look.
