Monique – COLUMBUS CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT (verified owner) – July 8, 2020

This course is perfect for those of us who already use technology on a frequent basis. It is way to fast for those who are novices and would be frustrating. However, the content is relevant to our work and had many great resources.

This is perfect way to get resources on apps. My district is moving to online only due to covid, and this helps me get the kids engaged and ready to learn.

This was a good course. Some of the programs he references are no longer available and you can not see what he is showing his audience. But he does show a lot of good programs that I enjoy using.
