6. What Students are Saying
It’s easier to understand than just the
teacher standing there and talking.
It is easy for me to go back and access
the information from home.
I don't need to bring a big ol' book around.
The material is actually kinda interesting
now that we're using laptops.
You can always read my work since it’s typed up.
7. What Teachers are Saying
• My students like what they see so far and are excited about
using it this semester. So am I!
• I am really changing the way I teach.
• I am enjoying the time that we are collaborating in our
groups.
• I immediately started thinking of ways to get students to
collaborate. In the past, I would have just talked about it in
class.
• I realized that I was submerged in this process and there was
no turning back and I realized, "Yes! I can do this; I am not as
old and stagnant as I thought that I was.”
