I think that this course could use more resources that are interactive for students. I believe it would be helpful to give specific website for specific subjects.

Dawn – River View Local Schools (verified owner) – July 21, 2022

I think this course offered some useful tools for the classroom, especially for teachers who may not have a strong background in the technology that is available to them. However, I was already familiar with many of these tools and was hoping to find new ones or at least a way of using them specifically with my gifted students.

I liked how straightforward and quick this was. It was an overview of apps, blogs and websites and how they might be used (without going into too much detail). Several of the apps I already knew about and several were not useful for my particular content.
