This was a great intro to some of the newer technology and apps that are available. I rated it a 4, because not many of them applied to me as a teacher in a science class that only has 45 minutes per day.

I would have liked to see these tools “in action.” I just ended up reading the “notes” section and moving on quickly if it was clear it wasn’t useful to me. For me, some of the time I wasn’t even sure what the tools did, like specifically what are they?

All of the technology was a little overwhelming. It’s hard enough to implement 1 new tool each year, let alone 60. But very informative though.
Sheila – DRIPPING SPRINGS ISD (verified owner) –
This was a helpful course. It seems to have been done prior to the pandemic and so much remote learning. There are a ton of other resources available now that could be included in an updated version of this training.
