      This course taught several tools that can be used in upper grades. There was a few tools that I learned about that would work with my younger students.

      This was a great course for ideas and information about what’s available, but does not help teachers implement usage of the apps.

      This course was very helpful, and I definitely plan to use what I learned in my classroom this upcoming school year.

      Helpful websites for technology activities.

      Some of the tips were good, but overall this course is for beginners. I did not realize that when I selected it.

      Good information using the Google Drive

      We use these resources already. It was a good review.

    10. Ryan – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –

      I thought this course provided a lot of good ideas of how to use Google applications in the classroom. I’m looking forward to trying a couple of them! The Google Earth prompt appeared a slide too early.
