I have taken many 6 hr gt courses and by far, this has been the best one. Dr Richard Cash is a great presenter, extremely informative, and accurate to real life teaching. I feel motivated to go to my classroom and try these concepts. He is great, I will take some other of his sessions for sure!! I even want to invite my peers to see this session, I was never bored or lost. I was always focused,interested, entertained, and impressed. I learned alot..

This was a great informative course. There are strategies and ideas I can use not only with GT students, but general ed students as well.

I guess based on the title of the course I was thinking there would be more ways to engage the kids that only care about their phones. It had more theories and not so much stuff that involved technology. This was probably my fault I should have picked a course with technology in the title. It was still interesting and good though!

It was actually very interesting and learned new ways to reach my GT students.
