    3. Angela – SCHOOL OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY CORPUS CH (verified owner) –

      I enjoyed learning about all of the different technology tools that would benefit my students in the classroom. This is good because some of my students do not have access to the internet from home.

    4. Claudia – MCALLEN ISD (verified owner) –

      It was very infromative.

    5. Andrea – GAHANNA-JEFFERSON CITY (verified owner) –

      This course was clear with a lot of resources but ultimately felt out of date- most of the what was explained has been around for 6+ years and some things are not obsolete due to Google Classroom.

    6. Laura – GAHANNA-JEFFERSON CITY (verified owner) –

      Good course, but slightly outdated already.

    7. Dora – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –

      Very helpful Google documents.

    8. Adriana – Pilot (verified owner) –

      This course in beneficial in incorporating technology with gifted students.

    9. Patricia – LAREDO ISD (verified owner) –

      Very interesting information

    10. Julie – ELYRIA CITY SCHOOLS (verified owner) –

      I don’t think the questions at the end matched up well with the discussion. I was also frustrated because a lot of the links were not accessible.
