Favorite JMU Class:ISAT 495: Technology in our World: Better by Design. This class was very fun and useful for teachers. We got to design and build various structures that related to science and/or other subjects taught in schools! These lessons I made will definitely be used in my classroom.
Favorite Memory from KDP: My favorite KDP event was apple picking! It was a lot of fun to pick some delicious apples and spend time with fellow KDP members.
