    Although I had heard of many of these tech tools, I feel this is a valuable resource for educators.

  6. Kileigh – VICTORIA ISD (verified owner) –

    60 Tech Tools in 60 minutes is an intimidating name, however we did just that. I liked the way the items were categorized, I think that will help me come back to my notes to identify which site/app I want to try based on my needs. I liked that each site/app mentioned was given with a little summary of how to use, some I had heard about before and others were new.

  7. Jorge – LAREDO ISD (verified owner) –

    Good resource shared on this course.

  8. Chioe – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –

    Really great options and links, just worry that most have to vetted in our district or already have and we have been told no.

  9. Melanie – ALVARADO ISD (verified owner) –

    This was a fast paced and packed course of highly valuable tools for educators. The short explanation of each tool was super helpful and all the tools mentioned in the course had a purpose that any classroom educator would find useful.

  10. Veronica – LOS FRESNOS CISD (verified owner) –

    Has a lot of great tools that can be used in the classroom.
