  1. Zulema – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –

    It certainly introduces educators to view a variety of tools that will engage the students not only in gaming, but critical thinking as well. Another positive aspect, this course assists with collaborating with other educators, and fortifying classroom behavior and strengthening parent communication. ++++

    There are many digital tools that I can use in my classroom. I also made note of some tools that the other teachers could use too.

    This needs to be updated. Many of these have been around for years. There was nothing innovative in this training.
