  1. Benjamin – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –

    This course was a bit tedious, but I think I’ll find the new techniques beneficial in my classroom.

  2. Marlene – Private Pay (verified owner) –

    This is from 2014 and I feel like there is a lot more updated technology that should be incorporated into these activities. I did not care for the changing hats activity and felt like this class could have been shortened with the information that was provided. I work at a Title I school and putting on a hat that another student wore would not be a great idea. However, I did like the last two activities.

  3. Margarita – Private Pay (verified owner) –

    I like it!

  4. Jennifer – VICTORIA ISD (verified owner) –

    The interaction was good however, putting a time on some of the lessons stressed me out. I felt panic and rushed.

  5. Jamie – SOUTHWEST ISD (verified owner) –

    This was a very interesting course. I enjoyed it.

  6. John – VICTORIA ISD (verified owner) –

    It was a good coarse.

  7. Kevin – SOUTHWEST ISD (verified owner) –

    It was informational.

  8. Wendy – NEDERLAND ISD (verified owner) –

    Very good ideas and exposure to new techniques for projects.

  9. Nicole – MANOR ISD (verified owner) –

    There were some good things, but this course is SO outdated and needs to be redone. It’s 2023!

  10. Maria – VICTORIA ISD (verified owner) –

    The course was very informative and I especially liked the Six Thinking Hats. I like the way the hats represent certain things and that I do not have to use all 6 hats.
