"I need to thank you for the opportunity to participate in these lessons. The ones I have completed so far have been extremely interesting and informative, and have given me some great ideas for application in the classroom. The TBUS format is user-friendly and I am really enjoying the videos etc. I truly appreciate the time and work that has gone into creating these lessons."
