  1. Melissa – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –

    I think there are many helpful and useful tools on this presentation, but I would like to know more about which ones are free and which ones require a paid subscription. I like the variety of applications that were shared for educators. I look forward to trying some of these in the summer to evaluate which of them I can implement in my own classroom.

  2. Christine – SCHERTZ-CIBOLO-U CITY ISD (verified owner) –

    This was an excellent presentation with resources that were extrememly useful 10 years ago. It just needs an update. Brian Housand is an excellent presenter, and I would love to see an updated version of this.

    It’s awesome for people who are tech savvy. Lots of great tools but I would need more training.

    It provided a lot of technology to explore. I feel like the presenter was showing more to the audience than what we saw in the course. If that’s true, I would’ve liked to have been able to see that too.
