    Great Course

  11. Parker – WYLIE ISD (verified owner) –

    It is good and I enjoyed some of the activities, directly applying some of these ideas across grade-levels and districts would be difficult. I would love to show movies to my students that have to do with what we are teaching but my district prohibits it, and my High schoolers would not respond well to some of the shared activities. I do love the built in differentiations and curiosity led ideas though.
