      Very helpful for those not familiar with Google Tools

    2. Jan – HALLSVILLE ISD (verified owner) –

      It discusses Google apps

    3. Susan – MIDWAY ISD – WOODWAY (verified owner) –

      This is geared to upper elementary or middle school.

    4. Steve – HALLSVILLE ISD (verified owner) –

      Great information about use of tech in classroom.

    5. RayNita – HERTFORD COUNTY SCHOOLS (verified owner) –

      I enjoyed it. The resources seem fun and helpful.

    6. Amy – GALVESTON ISD (verified owner) –

      Helpful introduction to the software and resources of Google!

    7. Rachele – MIAMI TRACE LOCAL (verified owner) –

      A lot of outdated information. Would be better organized for teachers in the Google Classroom application.

    8. Veronica – MCALLEN ISD (verified owner) –

      Its ok

    9. Connie – MANSFIELD ISD (verified owner) –

      A lot of telling and not enough showing.

    10. Alyssa – FLOUR BLUFF ISD (verified owner) –

      I wish the description of the course reflected how Google-center the instruction is. Those of us who are already intimately familiar with Google did not gather a vast amount of knowledge beyond what we are already versed in at this time. Yet Another Mail Merge was an interesting and new concept for me, so that’s a positive.

    11. Claudia – CORPUS CHRISTI ISD (verified owner) –

      It had plenty of useful information.

    12. Priscilla – LAREDO ISD (verified owner) –

      This is an awesome course to learn about google applications and the many features it provides for students.

    13. Sherri – DUNCANVILLE ISD (verified owner) –

      There were lots of great sources. The majority of the advanced apps were for use with intermediate to secondary students.

    16. Rachel – REYNOLDSBURG CITY (verified owner) –

      This course was very good. However, I knew most the information that was presented.

    17. RAQUEL – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –

      I liked how straight to the point he was. I know technology especially apps are ever changing, so an update would be nice.

    20. Suzanne – CONROE ISD (verified owner) –

      This is a simple laundry list of Google tools. No instructional strategies are explored.

    29. Jeanette – New Lexington City Schools (verified owner) –

      Speaker’s voice was dull

    30. Koneake – ELYRIA CITY SCHOOLS (verified owner) –

      It was very basic: here’s a list of sources, a short description of what they can do. Try them out and answer a question. The entire course could have just been a handout.

    31. Michelle – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –

      This training is a little out of date.

    32. Elizabeth – PFLUGERVILLE ISD (verified owner) –

      It was too general and a lot of the tools were just listed with no follow up.

    33. Kim – VAN WERT CITY (verified owner) –

      I thought this course was a good video. I would love to have videos set up specifically for math teachers. Although there were many good ideas some were just not applicable to math

    34. Willie – SPRING ISD (verified owner) –

      Very informative.

    35. Maritza – PFLUGERVILLE ISD (verified owner) –

      good

      Some good tools for basic tech understanding for novices. I did not like how the reflective questions were set up.

    37. TJ – PFLUGERVILLE ISD (verified owner) –

      Too much of a firehose of information. If you are already great at Google, you might not need this. If you are not, then this doesn’t help you get good at it.

    38. Erika – MANSFIELD ISD (verified owner) –

      Some of the tools are outdated, but there is some good stuff here.

    39. Daisy – DUNCANVILLE ISD (verified owner) –

      Lots of different technology tools presented to differentiate.

      This course provided some good resources to use in the classroom that aren’t as well known.

      Great course and explanations for different technology programs, specifically Google programs.

    43. Rachel – VAN WERT CITY (verified owner) –

      Good
