This workshop was awesome!! I really learned a lot in this session that I plan on sharing with my team. I will encourage them to attend more of these session in the future. Thank you so much for providing these for teachers. about 9 month now. The best part about training with her is the nutrition info that Alisa has given me. I’ve learnt so much about what I should be eating.

Dr. McDonald did a wonderful job of going through switching from pen and paper to digital. I have been having trouble with the transition and she has made the shift easier.

This was an hour well spent on this first Saturday. Dr. McDonald offered a free session which showed us how to design a digital escape room, which can be easily adapted for face to face, to help promote student engagement and critical thinking.

This was such an insightful workshop! I enjoyed the resources provided to create successful escape rooms for my classroom. Dr. Jocelyn McDonald is very thorough in her presentation and exhibits a great deal of patience. Also, incorporating time to practice during the workshop is helpful as well.
