Hi Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteOutstanding essay plan! It is well aligned with the learning outcomes for EDEM630. (There was no requirement to post a 2nd draft -- but appreciate your extra time in publishing the next iteration.)
I think this is going to be a great essay and I look forward to learning more about the change dimensions in relation to gaming and ASD.
Well done!
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI felt a bit confused still when writing the other one, after reading your comment and thinking about it I decided to do this for myself (in hope that I would be on the right track) so I am glad that it is along the correct lines for the assignment.
Your feedback is definitely helpful when navigating unfamiliar territory :)
