    1. Diane – PFLUGERVILLE ISD (verified owner) –

      had short, focused, required practice sessions where the learner applied it to his/her classroom

    2. Daisy – DUNCANVILLE ISD (verified owner) –

      Lots of different technology tools presented to differentiate.

    3. Erika – MANSFIELD ISD (verified owner) –

      Some of the tools are outdated, but there is some good stuff here.

    4. TJ – PFLUGERVILLE ISD (verified owner) –

      Too much of a firehose of information. If you are already great at Google, you might not need this. If you are not, then this doesn’t help you get good at it.

    5. Jennifer – PLANO ISD (verified owner) –

      Some good tools for basic tech understanding for novices. I did not like how the reflective questions were set up.

    6. Maritza – PFLUGERVILLE ISD (verified owner) –

      good

    7. Willie – SPRING ISD (verified owner) –

      Very informative.

    8. Kim – VAN WERT CITY (verified owner) –

      I thought this course was a good video. I would love to have videos set up specifically for math teachers. Although there were many good ideas some were just not applicable to math

    9. Elizabeth – PFLUGERVILLE ISD (verified owner) –

      It was too general and a lot of the tools were just listed with no follow up.

    10. Michelle – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –

      This training is a little out of date.
