My Take
I think it's a great tool to be used to engage students and connect their real like dreams to hard work which is a hard message to always get across to students.
How I Use It
This website is great for an advisory session I have with my students similar to home room. My students say they have big dreams and want to do all these things in life and this site breaks it down into steps and activities to help them learn more about it and start on the path to their dreams. Students can do this on their own and upload from laptops or their phone.
