      Many of the Google Apps introduced I have been using through District provided. I did however learn a few new ideas such Google Lit, Kaizena. Google Earth does provide a lot of new ways to use in the classroom and on distant learning.

      I wish there had been more resources and information in this training that were new to me. I am already very familiar with google, and I think that most teachers are. There were a few tools in this course that I hadn’t heard of, but I was expecting to hear a lot of new information.

      It was good.

      The presenter had good information and ideas for the classroom. Several of the links would not open for me but I was able to search and find the information.

      It was a great presentation, but I would liked for the presenter to go into more depth when showcasing a website.
