ReplyDeleteHey Jordan!
ReplyDeleteI thoroughly enjoyed your video of iCurio and Discovery Ed. I think that was a great and thoughtful way to personalize your thoughts of the websites as well as a useful visual on how to use iCurio. I encourage you to work on the fluidity of your writing. Your benefits of iCurio just seemed a little choppy. [of course that's just my opinion :) ] Other than that, awesome presentation!!
