Pacing of all subsections, appropriate amount of time for investigation vs. solutions, BGC was a very good partner - community feel, open to ideas whenever and wherever, gave great and appropriate feedback.

Students felt like they could complete the Padlet so their attention to detail throughout was higher, ensure technology usage is correct before giving presentation.

It was cool to see authentic audience have a conversation about implementation of our solution in real time. They gave great positive feedback and good questions to our students.
