Course information was valuable. The presentations seemed somewhat disjointed at times. I don't understand references to Bloom's taxonomy when this was not reflected in any of the videos that were required viewing. Additionally, I did not see the video on Competency Based Designed Principles in the course list. I viewed it when I came across a link in one of the Challenge questions.

The content and learning was beneficial. The questions on the challenges and milestones were grammatically incorrect quite frequently, thus causing a bit of confusion when answering the questions.

The course is full of information which connects to all other PD courses on adult learning. Very interesting information that I will definitely put to good use easily and immediately.

It is directly applicable to me and my classroom. I am building artifacts that I will continue to use with my students well after I finish the course.

I liked that the course wasn't isn't about how to use my iPad. It is about understanding why and when digital tools can help me to engage and support my students better.

I really like that the course makes me accountable for my own learning. I enjoy collaborating with my colleagues but it is nice that I don't need to wait for someone else to move on with my learning.
