      this course gives you a panoramic idea of different tools that can be use in the classroom. I will recommended to anybody.

    2. Lecia – WYLIE ISD (verified owner) –

      The presenter went from beginners to more advanced.

    3. Colette – BURLESON ISD (verified owner) –

      Some of the information is backdated.

    4. Raquel – WESLACO ISD (verified owner) –

      I thought the apps he presented were interesting. I think it would help a little more if he would have demonstrated how to use the apps. I know it is only an hour course, but he went through so fast that when I went on my own, I was looking around, but wasn’t sure where to start.

    5. ZANDRA – SOUTHWEST ISD (verified owner) –

      All of the Google Tools are great for classroom use.

      Good course and good resources.

      I didn’t find this course helpful. Most of the google apps mentioned I currently use. There are a couple however, that I would like to try.

    8. Valeria – ECTOR COUNTY ISD (verified owner) –

      I loved the Google Lit Trips idea. I can definitely use it in the classroom.
