  1. Brittney – River View Local Schools (verified owner) –

    This course gives several great tools, some domain-specific and some more widely applicable. Would recommend avoiding tools that require subscriptions, or may be ill-advised for student security.

  2. Sarah – CLEAR CREEK ISD (verified owner) –

    I thought this was full of engaging resources that kids can get excited about.

  3. Elizabeth – VICTORIA ISD (verified owner) –

    The only reason I give 3 stars is because tools included on this module were geared more toward secondary students and not elementary age students

  4. Adrian – VICTORIA ISD (verified owner) –

    This course allows teachers to explore the different resources which they can implement in their classroom.
