The course was very manageable and the instructions were clear. However, it felt a bit outdated and focused on technology that we do not really use as much anymore.

It was amazing! My students have benefited and will continue to do so from the real-world application of this course content and its integration into my own lesson plans. I was challenged to see news media differently and encouraged by the design of the course to draft applicable lessons that challenge my students to take ownership of their work.

This was a great course. It did take a lot of planning and scheduling to get all of the assignments done while working full time and taking other classes, but the assignments where impactful, meaningful, and I gained much more from the course than I had initially anticipated. Professor Steve Young was very thorough in his directions; he provided a clear guideline of what needed to be done while also providing pertinent background information, and made it very clear what the assignments were asking of you as well as the expectations for work completion.

The course was very interesting look into the world of media and how to use it in fifth grade. The lessons were easy to understand and follow. The communication with the instructor, Steve Young, was nearly instant with excellent feedback when I had a question.
