Critical Friends Capstone Review
Jen Ellison
The audience for Jen's website was clearly fellow educators who were looking for a way to increase engagement while teaching important tech skills. She was clear about the challenge she faced being asked to teach in the computer lab and her journey of embracing the gamification of her classroom. I appreciated her honesty about some of the sites that boost gamification as I have explored them myself. She was clear about the value she saw in using this method of teaching and how it benefited her students. I also know that she has continued to develop this skill and she has really achieved so much with her students so I am sure this makes me a biased critical friend Jen is doing great work and she is training teachers she is a wonderful resource to many in our district.

This site was created for me and fellow math educators who face the challenge of meeting our students where there are in their math knowledge. This site was very professional and really resonated with me and the challenges I face daily. She presented her challenge with a well structured solution of a personalized learning model. I really like the lessons that she attached to her Capstone I know being a fellow math teacher has made me even more intrigued . Her about the author was great I really enjoyed her timeline I may consider something like that since I feel I have too much text i know I need to cut mine back some.
