What educators are saying

Thank you so much for this resource! It's been a great way me to get know my students and for them to get to know one another.
This was a great resource to use at the start of the year to get to know my students. I found they were more comfortable sharing information on the slides rather than telling me directly. It provided good conversation starters for me.
