    It was a great course.

  14. Melissa – EAST CHAMBERS ISD (verified owner)

    There were a lot of great resources in this course. I believe it would have been more helpful to be able to see the screen that in person participants were able to see because many times things would be referenced that online participants could not see for websites and examples.

  26. Fran – HILLSBORO CITY (verified owner)

    It’s old and needs to be updated with new websites that are being used in 2024.

  27. Alejandra – UNITED ISD (verified owner)

    Great different sites we can use were shown.

  28. Michele – GRAND PRAIRIE ISD (verified owner)

    would be nice to spend time on one of each and then given options to other resources to try as it’s not really showing us much to use in our own class

    This course provided many different technology sites that I have never heard of. I am Very Excited to explore many of them.

  30. Dawn – GRANBURY ISD (verified owner)

    I liked the presenter and her enthusiasm for engaging student involvement. I think this particular presentation is a bit dated with some of the apps that she suggested. She made a lot of strong points that I wrote down to reflect upon how I can use them in a secondary class.
