  6. Jami – VALLEY VIEW LOCAL (verified owner) –

    This course exposes you several tech tools that someone in education has actually used and is promoting. I wouldn’t have known about them otherwise. Now, I can explore with them and make them fit my needs.

  7. RAQUEL – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –

    I liked the course, however, its hard to get the most recent 60 Tech Tools because it changes so rapidly.

  8. Sarah – HILLSBORO CITY (verified owner) –

    This was a nice grouping of resources,some I had heard of and many are new. Grouping them was helpful but I had to write down the entire list myself to be able to check them out later.

  9. Sylvia – VALLEY VIEW ISD PHARR – REGION 01 (verified owner) –

    It gives you alote of information on the different tools that you can use with your students.
