      I liked how the tools were explained and what each one does.

      Very useful information, but could probably use some updating.

    5. Lorie – WASHINGTON LOCAL (verified owner) –

      Out dated. Very basic. Very little new information. Sounded more like an add for Google than how to use these tools or implement them in my class to differentiate instruction.

      It provided me with ways that I can use tools that I had never thought I could use in math class.
