      Very informative but may be a bit overwhelming.

      The information, overall, was useful. It does require the individual to follow through with further research of the tools.

      Some resources presented were great, however it is not up to date – Google+ is not accessible for free anymore.
      Many of these tools are already of common use for most teachers.

      Multiple avenues to create teacher and student resources.
