 Is it easy or hard for teachers to use
 At first, teachers often find it hard to use.
 After navigating through it they start to
understand it better.
 Through my understanding:
 When getting to know each hot potato at a
time it can be easy to managed.
 Learning all of them at once can get
confusing.
 It is more likely that any teacher will learn hot
potato at a time.
 I find the program to be not self-explanatory 7
 Research Is required in order to explore it.
