Kimberly – SILSBEE ISD (verified owner) – April 20, 2023

The tech tools listed in this are very dated, Edmodo and Google Hangouts no longer exist. I love the idea of learning a tiny bit about a lot of different tech tools but these trainings need to updated at least once a year because there are always new great tech tools.

Dale – VICTORIA ISD (verified owner) – April 23, 2023

This course provides a lot of excellent apps. The issues comes when the educator has to coordinate all these apps within a 40 minute classroom setting. …and still maintain the “classroom framing” required by the various school districts.
