This video kind of stumpped me, I didn't really understand what we were supposed to be getting from it (maybe I was having a blonde moment?) I understand how important it is for teachers to have higher education so they can give their students the best education possible, also to be able to allow students to build on their learning. I am assuming this is what we were supposed to get from it. I enjoyed it, I thought it was cute that they were called Heffalumps :) but I didn't really understand it.
