Describe what the course as a whole has done for you. What have you learned? What would you have liked to have learned but was not covered?

This course was a reminder of the planning and structure involved in lesson planning, that I learned in college, many years ago, but have fallen to the wayside as the realities of day to day teaching have hit me. It is nice to have an entire lesson planned out in advance for once! Thinking more about my assessments and the types of assessments that I use has been informative and useful. This class has also been incredibly humbling as I've received more criticisms on my work than I have in many years. I guess I have more to work on than I expected.

The Intel tools were interesting to work with, and I found some that I would like to incorporate into several of my classes/units. Hopefully, I will have spare time in the summer to play around with them more.

The only thing I would have liked to see in the course was more time in class to get feedback on EQs and progress on the units, as we were working on them.
