    Thank you so much! I loved the fact that you had updated resources!

  2. Lindsay – MCALLEN ISD (verified owner) –

    The course was good. I’m now familiar with many, many tool options to advance the use of technology in my classroom, particularly with GT students.

  3. Alisha – Private Pay (verified owner) –

    Great quick overview of tech resources. This seems to be rather dated as there are many new resources available and many of the ones discussed have been around for some time now.

  4. Tracy – HUTTO ISD (verified owner) –

    This was a very interesting and helpful course. I would really recommend for middle and high school teachers.

    With so many school districts unsure of what the next school year will look like, I was thrilled to have some new tools in my technology tool box.

    This was by far the most interesting and informative course.

    I had never heard of some of the tech tools and am very interested to go search them and give them a try.

    Great format and presentation. Just needs to be redone with more current sites/apps. Especially in light of Pandemic and virtual teaching.
