      This is mostly about using G-Suite in the classroom. I am familiar with Google products, so I was hoping for a more broad look at using technology to help differentiate.

    2. Emily – SCHERTZ-CIBOLO-U CITY ISD (verified owner) –

      Very helpful in learning about different technology apps.

    3. Cecilia – COLUMBUS CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT (verified owner) –

      Good! Especially if you haven’t used or just started to use Google apps.

    4. Amy – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –

      I was new to Google last year. This would have been an excellent video to watch so I could see all that a teacher can do on Google.

      Lots of examples were provided. This was helpful for thinking about remote learning and blended classrooms.

      This course was extremely dated.

      It spend significant time talking about how to set up google classroom. I wish it had been labeled more for beginners. All my students already have email addresses and we set up classroom on day 1.
