This is a super workshop, however, i think I might divide it for users of Idevices and Android. So many resources and the overview lets people hear about what they might need and not waste hours in a workshop that they don’t. Thank you for this. I like it brief and to the point. Excellent job!

Soooooooooo many useful tools that can be used with students. If anything there are too many. I thought I was tech savy, this course opened my eyes in so many ways. Make sure you make a list of tools and that you check it twice!
