  1. Bobby – MIDLOTHIAN ISD (verified owner) –

    Great for younger grade levels or ELA classes

  2. Melissa – EL PASO ISD (verified owner) –

    I loved the use of the books to promote creative thinking.

  3. BRENDA – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –

    I will definitely take most of these ideas back to the classroom and implement once I am able to get my hands on the literature.

  4. Christine – SPRING ISD (verified owner) –

    I like all of the ideas…I need to figure out how to utilize these in context based applications. All are fabulous for SEL, but I want to stretch their thinking into core content as well,

  5. Elsa – EL PASO ISD (verified owner) –

    I provided many ideas toward creativity with items children are familiar with.

  6. Arianna – WYLIE ISD (verified owner) –

    This was very useful and had great resources that I am definitely use next year.

  7. Krista – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –

    I loved the different books that I learned about.

  8. Ana – EL PASO ISD (verified owner) –

    Great ideas and books.

  9. Lynda – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –

    This course gave great example of great literature and how to use the book to access higher level thinking.

  10. michelle – ECTOR COUNTY ISD (verified owner) –

    I feel like our district has gotten away from this type of creative learning in the regular classroom and it would be so beneficial to bring back. It would definately engage students more and spark their interest in reading. This course is a great reminder of things to do with books to make reading fun.
