  1. NICHOLE – COLDWATER EXEMPTED VILLAGE (verified owner) –

    Great ideas!

  2. Brittney – River View Local Schools (verified owner) –

    Good as an overall understanding of gamification and some tech/tool resources. I was hoping for more newer tools, as I had heard and used a large portion of them already, or found better options.

  3. Peggy – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –

    This course content was new and presented in a way that was engaging and motivating.

  4. Dean – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –

    I think it could’ve been better to focus more specifically on a few topics. There were too many just thrown out and not fully explored.

  5. Marlene – Private Pay (verified owner) –

    I agree with gamification; however, administrators have really become micro managers of our classrooms. This year, more than half of our teachers are leaving. We are very focused on written assessments vs. projects and everything has to mimic staar like questions instead of creativity. Ideally, this is the way teachers should be able to teach. Realistically, many teachers hands are tied to the way their admin and district wants them to teach.

  6. dale – PARMA CITY (verified owner) –

    good ideas and apps to add gamifying to your clasroom

  7. Shannyn – PARMA CITY (verified owner) –
