“Thanks for making this long video. It is very helpful to get us into the review mode and very helpful for us to see what we need to work on, what we remember and what we do not from the materials.”
“Made it through, I’m tired”“16 was a little confusing at first but I understand it now”
"How can we shift from a first is best culture to one that sends the message that everyone's voice matters—and that everyone has the potential to excel in the classroom?"

“When you practice elaboration, there’s no known limit to how much you can
learn. Elaboration is the process of giving new material meaning by expressing it in your own words and connecting it with what you already know. The more you can explain about the way your new
learning relates to your prior knowledge, the stronger your grasp of the new
learning will be, and the more connections you create that will help you remember it later.” ―Peter C. Brown, Make It Stick
