The blog taught me a lot about the author and how she uses technology in the classroom. It was evident that the teacher takes prides in her classroom and providing hands- on learning for her students. I was impressed with the amount of feedback she requests from her students and how she uses that to alter her teaching.

Very informative blog! I was very impressed with the amount of work that was put into the blog, however, it was very overwhelming to view. I enjoyed reading about the highlights in education and how the teacher incorporated technology into the classroom, but felt like the blog could have been condensed or created as multiple blogs. Attached is an article about wordiness and how it detracts the reader. https://www.enchantingmarketing.com/how-to-avoid-wordiness/
