    11. Ryan – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –

      I thought this course provided a lot of good ideas of how to use Google applications in the classroom. I’m looking forward to trying a couple of them! The Google Earth prompt appeared a slide too early.

    12. Glenn – MIDWAY ISD – WOODWAY (verified owner) –

      We use these resources already. It was a good review.

    13. Viola – EDINBURG CISD (verified owner) –

      Good information using the Google Drive

    14. Julieann – MIDLOTHIAN ISD (verified owner) –

      Some of the tips were good, but overall this course is for beginners. I did not realize that when I selected it.

    15. Melissa – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –

      Helpful websites for technology activities.

    16. Taylor – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –

      This course was very helpful, and I definitely plan to use what I learned in my classroom this upcoming school year.

    17. Elaine – DALLAS ISD (verified owner) –

      This was a great course for ideas and information about what’s available, but does not help teachers implement usage of the apps.

    18. Melinda – GRAND PRAIRIE ISD (verified owner) –

      This course has a lot of good information and tools that are easily accessible by teachers and students

    19. Priscila – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –

      very helpful

    20. Angela – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –

      This course taught several tools that can be used in upper grades. There was a few tools that I learned about that would work with my younger students.

    21. ERMELINDA – DALLAS ISD (verified owner) –

      Much of the stuff presented here, I had not heard of. Thank you. Some of it was did not allow access, such as Kaizena.com. The GoogleLitTrips, I had questions. The “Yet Another Mail Merge” I need to check out further and am looking forward to doing so. I think the geteach.com will also be most useful. The Choose Adventure with Options looked promising. At the beginning, you talked about creating a gmail account for the different classes. I currently have their assignments in my drive and couldn’t figure out why they were flooding my drive. I think that is why. I need to clean up my drive. I still have a lot of questions about that. Thank you for the lesson.

    22. Claudia – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –

      I was very useful.

      Very informative about onlie tools to use

    27. Dwayne – BURLESON ISD (verified owner) –

      I love the topics of the course, however I did not like having to take the extra time exploring new websites during the lesson time and use that research to answer the reflective questions. I would prefer to do that on my own time so I can better research what works for me and my class.

    28. Diana – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –

      A lot of information that can be used in the classroom

    29. Carri – DRIPPING SPRINGS ISD (verified owner) –

      A few interesting resources but the presenter wasn’t very clear on how to use them.

    30. Kelly – PFLUGERVILLE ISD (verified owner) –

      Some of the technology appears dated, especially after the 2020-2021 school year. The presenter may have known a lot about the content, but did not do a great job of presenting.

    31. Robert – KILLEEN ISD (verified owner) –

      Great ideas for classrooms

    32. Kaitlin – DALLAS ISD (verified owner) –

      Not engaging or interesting

    33. Michelle – GRAND PRAIRIE ISD (verified owner) –

      Lots of great ideas to use in the classroom!

    34. Eduardo – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –

      It is a great way to start using google classroom.

    35. Jill – DALLAS ISD (verified owner) –

      This course is not intended for high school level math courses. It focused on ELA/SS courses and gave very little information on resources that could be used in a math class. I’m very disappointed. I wish the description of the course had mentioned this.

    36. april – DALLAS ISD (verified owner) –

      I learned about some great tools to use that I did not know about

    37. Brenda – CONROE ISD (verified owner) –

      I learned a lot of different apps/extensions/tools that Google Drive/Docs have for use in the classroom.

    38. Cristina – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –

      Very well organized and to the point

    39. Patricia D. – MERCEDES ISD (verified owner) –

      This course has supplemental Google extensions that will help with GSuite work.

    40. Laura – DRIPPING SPRINGS ISD (verified owner) –

      This was pretty outdated.

    41. Claudia – MERCEDES ISD (verified owner) –

      The course was helpful. I was introduced to some applications that I was not aware of and can absolutely use in class.

    42. Debbie – WYLIE ISD (verified owner) –

      good ideas

    43. Charity – CLYDE-GREEN SPRINGS EXEMPTED VILLAGE (verified owner) –

      I think this course needs to be updated. Since the pandemic there have been many updates to some of the features mentioned. For example, it is no longer necessary to have the Flubaroo extension to grade Google Forms. There is a quiz feature built right in now.

    44. Melissa – WESTERVILLE CITY (verified owner) –

      This course has a lot of great ideas for using the different tools in Google. I learned many new things to use in class next year.

      Excellent Course
