      Great ideas for using technology in the classroom.

    2. Anton – HERTFORD COUNTY SCHOOLS (verified owner) –

      It was interesting to learn about different google apps.

    3. William – VALLEY VIEW LOCAL (verified owner) –

      Some info is outdated.

    4. Kimberly – Huber Heights City (verified owner) –

      Would like more direction on using apps

    5. Shannon – VALLEY VIEW LOCAL (verified owner) –

      Very useful information

    6. Michele – LANCASTER CITY (verified owner) –

      Some of the overviews were a bit vague. I would have liked fewer items with more description for each one. It felt rushed.
      The reflection questions were a distraction. It would have been nice to have had them at the end.

    7. Lisa – BETHEL-TATE LOCAL (verified owner) –

      very useful, especially with increased use of remote learning

    8. Kimberly – SCHERTZ-CIBOLO-U CITY ISD (verified owner) –

      This is good information but our district has moved to Schoology where a lot of these functions are available within one platform. Also, because of Covid, teachers were forced to find platforms that support their needs. So we’re using tools and other platforms that meet our needs. However learning about alternative apps out there is helpful.

    9. Tamla – DALLAS ISD (verified owner) –

      This is good lessons to explore other google tools.

    10. LeaAnn – MIDLOTHIAN ISD (verified owner) –

      Great course
