  1. James – CORPUS CHRISTI ISD (verified owner) –

    Excellent course that gave me some great ideas that go along with project based assignments. Many PD’s lack this.

  2. Brianna – VICTORIA ISD (verified owner) –

    This course is incredibly informative and helpful, though the delivery leaves something to be desired. The teacher is intelligent, but dry, and I found my attention drifting throughout.

  3. Diane – VICTORIA ISD (verified owner) –

    I found some useful strategies to use in my classroom especially SCAMPER

  4. Leslee – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –

    I appreciated the practical and transferrable nature of the course. The four strategies could be applied across subjects in my classroom. I appreciated the embedded patterns and the structures that would support learners in stretching their thinking and developing their creativity.

  5. Allen – VICTORIA ISD (verified owner) –

    Good examples to illustrate the concepts

  6. Michelle – SCHERTZ-CIBOLO-U CITY ISD (verified owner) –

    I enjoyed the activities

  7. Cadi – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –

    It was very interesting. I loved the activities to promote creativity.

  8. Sandra – VICTORIA ISD (verified owner) –

    Techniques could be helpful depending on the make up of the class.

  9. James – BOERNE ISD (verified owner) –

    While the strategies for engaging students in creative, multidisciplinary activities were interesting, I wish some more examples might have been given appropriate for high school upperclassmen. It seemed to me that most of the examples were more appropriate to elementary or middle school students.

  10. Luis – VICTORIA ISD (verified owner) –

    Awesome information!
