This was my first COpilot class. I enjoyed completing the assignments each week. I teach drama and still found the skills and assignments to be applicable. It was fun to learn about so many different history makers and I’m excited to share what I learned with my students.

This was one of the best courses I have taken on COpilot. All of the activities can be used in the classroom at all levels and are very engaging for students. It was so inspiring to learn about First Generation immigrants and their contributions to our country.
