  1. Dana – HILLSBORO CITY (verified owner) –

    TONS of useful information! Almost too much! I couldn’t write fast enough to take notes. I’d really love if there was a link to print out a list of tools discussed for future reference!

  2. Joy – HILLSBORO CITY (verified owner) –

    One hour is not enough time! I really wanted to take the time and look through these sites and try them out.

  3. Ashley – ROCK HILL LOCAL (verified owner) –

    This provided info on a lot of great tools, but it would have been nice to see more of a visual on what the tools actually look like and how they work.

  4. Lori – SCHERTZ-CIBOLO-U CITY ISD (verified owner) –

    This course definitely offered a lot of resources; however, I would have preferred it to maybe focus on less sites and dive deeper into what they offer. A lot of great information, though.

  5. Angie – RIDGEDALE LOCAL (verified owner) –

    I find this course very informative and useful.

  6. Chelsea – RIDGEDALE LOCAL (verified owner) –

    This was a great course! I appreciate the variety of resources provided.

  7. Anel – VALLEY VIEW ISD PHARR – REGION 01 (verified owner) –

    Plenty of information and online resources although some have been out for quite some time. This is perfect for those who are not tech savvy.

  8. Ryan – HILLSBORO CITY (verified owner) –

    Provides new ideas and information about useful tools.

  9. Christian – GREGORY-PORTLAND ISD (verified owner) –

    I thought this was a great course, full of helpful information that I can take back and use with my classes, and even my own children.
