      It was good.

      There were some items that were new and some have been around awhile. Nice quick visit of many tools and how to use them in class.

      For a teacher that is not very tech savvy, this course can be overwhelming. However, there a several good suggestions presented.

      The tests was very confusing and the last question may be wrong.

      This course provided a lot of good tools, but there was not enough information to learn how to use them. It was just a bit confusing.

      I find these types of courses to be best in front of a computer to practice these tools.
