      This training was okay. It would of been a bit more informative if I could see how the recommended sited worked instead of just seeing the titles.

      The course has good information.

    6. Nicole – PLANO ISD (verified owner) –

      This course had some great ideas! I wish there were some example projects and ways that they could be used with students. I know he made some suggestions but it would be cool if we could see some teacher created projects and assignments to show them in use. Overall, great course!

      The course presented a lot of options to use in a technology setting.

    8. Stephanie – HALLSVILLE ISD (verified owner) –

      I knew most of the basic information. I felt he skimmed over what I really needed. I also felt lost on the sites he suggested I visit. I wasn’t sure what to do or where to start.

    9. Donna – GALVESTON ISD (verified owner) –

      Pretty informative

    10. Betsy – HALLSVILLE ISD (verified owner) –

      He’s very knowledgable; however, it’s a little like drinking out of a fire hose.
