I wouldn't have wanted to spend every Tuesday & Thursday for 5 straight weeks with any other class. You are great students and I hope I can teach you one day in the future. You have made a huge positive impact on my career as a future teacher.
Thank you again for being so great! I hope I made an impact on you, just like you've made an impact on me.

I attended computer class once a week, and sometimes if we were participating in a web quest, there would be c...
