We liked the chance to give some feedback on what to do with the abundance of information we received.  For beginning ESL students, we think the mini-interviews were a good idea.  We would like to learn more about Quizlet - but not enough time to experiment with all the new ideas.

At the end of a semester, when we are working to wrap up our classes, the showcase took up key time we could have used on our classroom work.  It felt too much like a science fair and not a professional level of engagement.  It appeared the showcase was for district to see what we have been discussing, but little time for staff to take away and implement.

If we were able to spend more time working on things that interested us, rather than showing what we find, the learning would be more practical.

We need more time to utilize the various strategies, implement them and see if they work.  We would like to include time to meet with our content PLCs again.  This time was very useful.
