A big part of this course is creation of content or a “product”. To me, this is extremely important and is something you will be able to use in other courses throughout your education in high school and or college. This means that as “creators” our products should continue to improve
and get better. Be sure to check out the feedback your peers and myself have left on previous assignments. It will help give you additional ideas and help you fix previous errors.
