The quality of content was of good standard, however, it would be better to have teachers of the same KLA to work together in producing and sharing games that teach specific concepts/skills.

It was okay, but there were some sections which seemed to be long and tedious and less important than others. I would have liked to see more relevant examples of games which are already out there the use with my classes, but there were really only a few specific ones given.
