    I would give this course 4 stars. I believe it was well presented, but she mentioned handouts that were not available to me.

  6. Cynthia – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –

    Great!

  7. Melissa – MCKINNEY ISD (verified owner) –

    This was full of useful information. I do with there was a little more nitty gritty on may 1 or 2 ways to specifically gamefy a classroom. I felt a lot of the information was theoretical.

  8. Rene – DRIPPING SPRINGS ISD (verified owner) –

    It was different and thought provoking.
