I found the course to be relevant to my classroom. It was a great refresher of strategies that I was introduced to earlier in my career. I feel like some of the chapters of the textbook were a bit outdated in terms of technology in the classroom, but it is difficult to keep with our technology evolving in schools. This course provide me with some new techniques to utilize in my classroom and reminded me of others that I have not used in recent year. Jodi G., OH.
