    This was a great course. A lot of great ideas to use.

  4. Jessi – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –

    I didn’t like that you have to create a lesson plan but are only given 15 minutes. There was some good information but the overall setup felt tedious.

    Very easily applied and insightful

    Lots of ideas

  7. Susana – SHARYLAND ISD (verified owner) –

    She was very thorough with her 4 creative activities to use with our G.T. students. They’re fun and easy to implement in the classroom. I look forward to incorporating them across all interdisciplinary studies.

    I really enjoyed this course! I really try to have my students think creativity because I can see many of them lacking that skill. I loved the activities and actually doing them! I will definitely use them in my class the next school year!
