Reviews
"I wish I had taken this course before we went on Distant Learning at my school. It would have saved me so much stress! I am already doing some of the things shared in the course, but I was unaware of many others. I can start implementing new techniques and re-organizing my classes with some of the tips shared here. Thank you."
