FINAL THOUGHTS ON FREEPATH
For teachers, Freepath may be most useful to introduce a unit.
However, teachers should be prepared to spend time locating information for each element they decide to include.
We also recommend that teachers do a practice run to make sure everything works before they try to run the presentation in class.
