Raise your hand if you save Unit Three for the end and now are wondering what to do since the test will only cover Units 1-3? (This was Spring 2020 and does not indicate any other years)
Not going to lie. I went for a LONG walk and stewed. During the walk, though, I realized that this is all new for everyone and I had a choice. Here is my compiled list of resources, podcasts, videos, and anything else I could think of. The format is different than my other resource pages, as this follows the CED to help where you need it.
This is meant to be a start to your eLearning. I plan to record some lectures as well and roll with the punches. information is rolling in daily. I do not want to overload my students, but I want to give them resources. It’s very podcast heavy, with videos and a few lessons.
Overall resources. You can search for what you need!
