    1. Alyssa – FLOUR BLUFF ISD (verified owner) –

      I wish the description of the course reflected how Google-center the instruction is. Those of us who are already intimately familiar with Google did not gather a vast amount of knowledge beyond what we are already versed in at this time. Yet Another Mail Merge was an interesting and new concept for me, so that’s a positive.

    2. Connie – MANSFIELD ISD (verified owner) –

      A lot of telling and not enough showing.

    3. Veronica – MCALLEN ISD (verified owner) –

      Its ok

    4. Rachele – MIAMI TRACE LOCAL (verified owner) –

      A lot of outdated information. Would be better organized for teachers in the Google Classroom application.

    5. Amy – GALVESTON ISD (verified owner) –

      Helpful introduction to the software and resources of Google!

    6. RayNita – HERTFORD COUNTY SCHOOLS (verified owner) –

      I enjoyed it. The resources seem fun and helpful.

    7. Steve – HALLSVILLE ISD (verified owner) –

      Great information about use of tech in classroom.

    8. Susan – MIDWAY ISD – WOODWAY (verified owner) –

      This is geared to upper elementary or middle school.

    9. Jan – HALLSVILLE ISD (verified owner) –

      It discusses Google apps

    10. Cindy – HALLSVILLE ISD (verified owner) –
