This is an excellent refresher of Dr. Juntune’s course on mind sketching. (Side note: Dr. Juntune’s name is misspelled on a couple of the slides.)

Great course except it was hard to hear what the other people in the room where saying. Maybe next time make sure they too have a microphone or the teacher is repeating their question.
Dawn – ECTOR COUNTY ISD (verified owner) –
It was interesting, especially for teachers.
Stacey – GALVESTON ISD (verified owner) –
Is there a packet to download? She kept referring to it? Also, I took notes on the fluid, crystallized, working and blah and she breezed over those and then they were 25% of the quiz. Why didn’t she ask about the activities ? Most of it was about Mindsketching, which I enjoyed but then no questions so then you doubt yourself.
And that drop down question was just bull. Not text to help.
If that was during a teacher appraisal that would be a 1 in measuring learning.
I loved the trainer. Her personal stories were endearing and helpful. I teach EL Newcomer so her stories were touching and I have been doing it 26 year so I know HOPE matters.
I really learned a lot and took 7 pages of notes on mini-legal pads and thought I learned a lot and then the quiz took me 2 times. UGH, I would prefer essays to those dumb questions. Yes, I said dumb. ANd on that note, I appreciate he saying when people should leave the classroom

It’s not terrible but it’s pretty bad. I dislike how you have to listen and not read so you can reread all the words and listen to it better. That’s all I have to say about it.
