    Great resources for adding technology to the classroom, which I think this generation of students need. It’s how they have grown up and how they learn best.

    It was fast and furious, but it does provide many tools for you to use in your classroom.

  6. Lilia – MIDWAY ISD – WOODWAY (verified owner) –

    60 Tech Tools in 60 Minutes is a power house of technology tools and resources that are relevant, engaging, easy to use, and mostly free. I love how he has put them into different categories & provided brief descriptions, as well as how they could best be used in the classroom.

  7. Kacee – GEORGETOWN ISD (verified owner) –

    Good information – even if it was from 2013, but this presenter said< "uhh..." after almost every word. It was distracting.

  8. Anita – ECTOR COUNTY ISD (verified owner) –

    Lot’s of information quickly – it seems to be from 2013, so I do wonder how many of the sites are no longer functional.

  9. LynnDee – SEMINOLE ISD (verified owner) –

    Lots of good ideas shared.

  10. Carmen – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –
