  1. Claudia – LAREDO ISD (verified owner) –

    Very informative and great suggestions on apps or programs available

  2. Kristi – COLUMBUS CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT (verified owner) –

    Seems dated. Definitely before Google Classroom.

  3. Rosario – SAN BENITO CISD (verified owner) –

    It had a variety of resources teacher could use in the classroom.

  4. Maricela – SAN BENITO CISD (verified owner) –

    It gives a great variety of awesome digital applications that can support any lesson.

  5. Janice – COLUMBUS CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT (verified owner) –

    Lots of information- I hope I can pop back into this class to check on some of the topics that I was interested in.

  6. Suzanne – COLUMBUS CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT (verified owner) –

    Even though the course is a few years old, I was able to find ideas that I haven’t tried before. He’s probably updated his list since the pandemic began, but there was enough for me to look into because they were interesting. I also liked it because he knows how gifted kids think, and then wove that knowledge into how to use the apps and software.

  7. Jennifer – SAN BENITO CISD (verified owner) –

    A lot of awesome sites/apps worth looking into after this video

  8. Denisse – SAN BENITO CISD (verified owner) –

    Great course

  9. Nikki – NEDERLAND ISD (verified owner) –

    Love the brief overviews of useful programs!

  10. Brittany – Aldine ISD (verified owner) –

    I feel like there needs to be an updated version to this video. I did find useful resources but this presentation could have been better.
