What educators are saying

Students enjoyed this activity because it is not your typical research/reading topic. It allowed them to read and research things they found interesting and was able to be scaffolded nicely.
This mini research was a great find! Especially the ted talks. It was so good and thought provoking. A lot of parts of this resource was very helpful with research assignments. Thank you so much!
