    I feel like this is a good refresher in a lot of tech tools that I have already seen. However, there are some new tools that I have not heard of before that could be implemented into my classroom.

  42. Jimmy – PROSPER ISD (verified owner)

    My low score is not indicative of the quality of the presenter. Ms. McNair did a fine job of delivering an abundance of info in the time she had and many of these could be useful. The big issue here is that this presentation seemed to be from around 2016, and that doesn’t feel conducive to showing the most current innovative technologies for the classroom. Possibly need to pull or update some of the courses in this library.
