  1. Thomas – TIPP CITY EXEMPTED VILLAGE (verified owner) –

    Not a whole lot of new information for me, a teacher who taught through the quarantine.

  2. arely – MERCEDES ISD (verified owner) –

    This was a great summary of the many tools available.

  3. Jessica – ECTOR COUNTY ISD (verified owner) –

    I like that it is broken down into different topics with apps for each topic. Very informational. I will be trying a few of these in my class soon.

  4. Tracy – NORWALK CITY (verified owner) –

    Lots of diverse ideas presented.

  5. Patricia – LAREDO ISD (verified owner) –

    Definitely great course. The only thing I would change or rather add, is maybe short clips of each tool so as to see how they look like versus just hearing about it. However, it was fantastic to hear about all these different tools and have them be explained in such a short and professional way.

  6. Nicole – VICTORIA ISD (verified owner) –

    It was interesting to learn of different tools that we can use online in school with the students.

  7. Christine – ROCK HILL LOCAL (verified owner) –

    I found several resources that I can incorporate into my classroom.

  8. Cary – ROCK HILL LOCAL (verified owner) –

    This was a great resource for our district’s after school program.
