      Excellent course to know what’s available through Google.

    5. Araceli – LAREDO ISD (verified owner) –

      I learned some great tech applications I can integrate in my blended learning classroom.

    6. Maritza – EDINBURG CISD (verified owner) –

      I would like more explanation of how to use the websites instead of just the link and having me find it and navigate it. It takes longer than the 1 hour credit I am receiving because I have to go to the websites myself instead of you presenting it to me.

    7. Talina – LAREDO ISD (verified owner) –

      Great course! It shares useful information.

    8. Jody – DELAWARE CITY (verified owner) –

      I did not like this course because most of what was covered was geared at too high of a level for my first grade students. I think it is much better suited for upper elementary, middle and high school.

    9. Annette – DALLAS ISD (verified owner) –

      I think this course was informative and well organized. I have more knowledge on how to use google tools to enhance the lessons for students.

      Awesome and easy to follow
