      Great course for teachers of all students, not just GT.

      It is helpful when you don’t know much about different google applications.

    4. Ashley – HUTTO ISD (verified owner) –

      I feel the information in this course did not help me to understand how to differentiate for gifted students. The information is also outdated.

    5. Christina – BOERNE ISD (verified owner) –

      I needed more description and detail by the presenter on how he uses these apps.

      I think it would have been helpful to have some screencastify to help us see how the websites worked rather than just having him talk about the website using a slide
