Margaret – KILLEEN ISD (verified owner) –
Honestly I was disappointed. This PD was labeled as “secondary” but most of the resources she listed are for early grades. Several of the links are outdated, and a lot of the programs are paid only (not very do-able on a teacher budget!). I got a few good hints out of it, but I don’t feel like it was what I was expecting at all.

Provided lots of good ideas which a teacher can take, modify and make work in their own particular classroom.
