Welcome to your first foray into Integrations! You’ve heard about Integrations, and that they were complex to learn, right? It’s all in how you explain it!
In these courses, you will learn integrations by the book and by practice, but through analogies, strategies, and punagies puns!!
Our goal is to help grow the number of people who understand Integrations, because the more Integrations that are out there, the more connected we are! This is the first of many integrations that are available for the future.

- Pieces of the PuzzleHave you ever thought about your process for completing a puzzle? Do you pick out one piece and start trying or do you take out all the pieces, organize them, and then define your plan for how you are to going to complete.

Once the edges are defined, you can then fill in the puzzle with the new information you now have.10

Instructor
George Feeny was Cory's sixth grade teacher (later retconned to being Cory's teacher from first grade and then retconned again into being his teacher from sixth grade) as well as the neighbor of the Matthews family.
As the series progresses, he starts working in the John Adams High School, just when the main characters begin to attend there. Eventually, he becomes the principal, and later on a college professor at Pennbrook. From the start of the series, Feeny attempts to be strictly a teacher to his students, but later develops close relationships with Cory, Shawn, Topanga and especially Eric. Feeny acts like more the authority figure than a mentor.
KITT is an artificially intelligent electronic computer module in the body of a highly advanced, very mobile, robotic automobile from Knight Rider.
