      Great tools !

    2. Tomas – WESLACO ISD (verified owner)

      Very educational another way to differentiate learning to students.

    3. Rebecca – Region 17 (verified owner)

      There were a lot of good resources that can be used–especially with distance learning that teachers are facing.

    4. MARK A – SOCORRO ISD (verified owner)

      very useful information

    5. Erin – GEORGETOWN ISD (verified owner)

      A lot of this information I already knew, it wasnt new and exciting ways to use technology.

    6. karen – WESLACO ISD (verified owner)

      This course has some interesting apps to use with google.

    7. lydia – MCALLEN ISD (verified owner)

      This is by far the best training I’ve had in years!!! I am in the middle of taking this during a time when we will also need to prepare for distant learning due to the pandemic. I can see how all of this could be used during normal circumstances but this is even more valuable now due to the current situation. I am so excited to start looking more into all of these links. The presenter did an amazing job of keeping me engaged and provided so many resources I can share with my class and coworkers.

    8. Tamara – PFLUGERVILLE ISD (verified owner)

      This course was ok. Im not really tech savvy so it would have been nice to have a demo of some of the applications rather than directing us somewhere.

    9. Romelia – UNITED ISD (verified owner)

      Very informative and greatly useful for this time in age. Having to access students online and students accessing us and their assignments is crucial for their learning.

    10. Laura – MIDWAY ISD – WOODWAY (verified owner)

      There were so many excellent resources presented that I can use in my classroom–these could be used in most if not all content areas.

    11. Angelica – BURLESON ISD (verified owner)

      very helpful. It explained alot of google tools I did not know about

    12. Sean – SPRING ISD (verified owner)

      This was great. It complements my Districts policy’s and plans.

    13. Juanita – EDINBURG CISD (verified owner)

      Very informative.

    14. Katie – WYLIE ISD (verified owner)

      It was not what I really expected. It was an overview of Google (mainly).

    15. Mercedes – SOCORRO ISD (verified owner)

      I would say this course can be used by any student not just your gifted students.

    16. Anthony – SOCORRO ISD (verified owner)

      The title was misleading. This was more about how Google can help you in the classroom. Having said that it was very informative.

    17. Maria – UNITED ISD (verified owner)

      This course provided many useful and helpful online resources which make learning interesting virtually for teachers and students.

    18. Meggan – WYLIE ISD (verified owner)

      More useful for those who haven’t used Google or haven’t used it much.

    19. Zulema – UNITED ISD (verified owner)

      Excellent

    20. Alicia – CLEBURNE ISD (verified owner)

      I learned nothing. This is an overview of G Suite and a list of apps that are minimally helpful. Most work that he gives other apps for can be done using G Suite. I thought this would give better ideas instead of listing technology and what they do.

    21. Tammy – LORENA ISD (verified owner)

      This is a great course for those that are not familiar with Google Classroom.

    22. Elizabeth – UNITED ISD (verified owner)

      Very informational if you haven’t used it.

    23. Dinorah – PFLUGERVILLE ISD (verified owner)

      Great info on apps to enrich learning

    24. Holly – BETHEL LOCAL (verified owner)

      I liked the technology resources that were given.

    25. Heather – BOERNE ISD (verified owner)

      I find these types of courses to be best in front of a computer to practice these tools.

    26. Aiza – EDINBURG CISD (verified owner)

      This course provided a lot of good tools, but there was not enough information to learn how to use them. It was just a bit confusing.

    27. Becky – HUGHES SPRINGS ISD (verified owner)

      The tests was very confusing and the last question may be wrong.

    28. Amy – GEORGETOWN ISD (verified owner)

      For a teacher that is not very tech savvy, this course can be overwhelming. However, there a several good suggestions presented.

    29. Anthony – MIDLOTHIAN ISD (verified owner)

      There were some items that were new and some have been around awhile. Nice quick visit of many tools and how to use them in class.

    30. Ericka – VIDOR ISD (verified owner)

      It was good.

    31. Sonya – BASTROP ISD (verified owner)

      Kind os slow paced and could be more interesting

    32. Sylvia – EDINBURG CISD (verified owner)

      It’s helpful in introducing many of the Google applications.

    33. Kellyn – NEWARK CITY (verified owner)

      A lot of it was already known. Not a lot of new stuff.

    46. Alissa – MCALLEN ISD (verified owner)

    50. Sheila – ECTOR COUNTY ISD (verified owner)

      Good overview of Google Chrome, applications, docs, extensions This is certainly a course relevant to the conditions we face with distance learning.
