Evaluation
Given the current situation of COVID-19, this book/website would be very helpful for distance and online learning. It allows for integration of Google Drive and OneDrive so you wouldn't need to create anything new and you could incoporate those lessons into the lessons provided here. The one downside is the lack of authentic materials. Almost all of the resources provided are contrived to help student learning.
