    Great course to learn what tools are out there that you can use in your classroom.

  4. Joel – MCALLEN ISD (verified owner)

    I think the presenter’s style was pleasant, but many of the tools were either for younger students or kind of outdated.

  5. Kurt – FORT RECOVERY LOCAL (verified owner)

    It is a solid course. Even if you only get 1 good idea from this course, it is worth it.

    I think this course provided me with many resources that are available to myself and students that I did not already know were available.

  9. Louis – GALENA PARK ISD (verified owner)

    Most of the “tools” offered here were either out-of-date, no longer active, charged a fee, were only for iPhones, or were commonly known to most people.

    I thought that there were a lot of great tools that I have not heard of before. I feel like sometimes I am using all the same tools that every other teacher in the school uses and they kids grow sick of them. I am looking forward to testing some of these out and getting them vetted by our district so I can use them in the classroom!

  28. Blake – VICTORIA ISD (verified owner)

    I think the course was perfect in length you did not spend time going through a ridiculous amount of detail about each ap, but you did explain just enough to get a full understanding of what to expect on said ap.
