Reflection: I really enjoyed using this website. I have never been super tech-savvy but this was quick and easy to figure out. It allows to you do so many different things and it would be perfect for any grade and for and subject. I can see myself doing a project with my students and in my other college classes using this website. The comment feature allows for other students to give their opinions on the project and I personally love that. Overall, this was my favorite project to do.
