    1. Zante – DUNCANVILLE ISD (verified owner) –

      Great resources for online learning

    2. JOSHUA A – SOCORRO ISD (verified owner) –

      Okey dokey all about Google things.

    3. Eduardo – MCALLEN ISD (verified owner) –

      Excellent presentation on google technology.

    4. Sydney – MIDWAY ISD – WOODWAY (verified owner) –

      Much of this presentation was explaining Google Drive at a very basic level. Once new ideas were introduced, the explanations were not helpful in becoming familiar with them. Because the online training did not allow me to see his screen, I was not able to understand what the sites/apps could actually do. I will need to do a lot of my own exploring.

    5. Nianna – VALLEY VIEW ISD PHARR – REGION 01 (verified owner) –

      The beginning of this video is a little outdated. I think you could update this and have better viewing of the different forms/websites available to teachers. It’s not a very visual presentation when all the questions ask you to reflect on visuals.

    6. Debby – DUNCANVILLE ISD (verified owner) –

      It was good, but I would have liked a little more elaboration on some of the apps.

    7. LIZETTE – SOCORRO ISD (verified owner) –

      Great

    8. Yanelley – DUNCANVILLE ISD (verified owner) –

      There were not video examples of the tools that were described. The presenter continually said “Uh” and “Um.”

    9. Danny – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –

      Very up to date w the current times

    10. chrissy – LOS FRESNOS CISD (verified owner) –

      A little outdated , but technology is changing so fast
