  1. FRANCISCA – LOS FRESNOS CISD (verified owner) –

    I like the idea of using pictures. This was informative.

  2. Jennifer – SPRING ISD (verified owner) –

    I think that my background doing US History for the last 12 years made this course somewhat of a poor choice for me.

  3. Melinda – VAN WERT CITY (verified owner) –

    I appreciated being able to participate in the activity that the students would do. However, some of the discussion was long since I was not in the actual presentation.

  4. Brian – PLANO ISD (verified owner) –

    A beginning lecture on learning with primary sources.

  5. Brenda – CONROE ISD (verified owner) –

    Very informative. I will use more primary sources in the future, even though I do use some now.

  6. Larissa – MCKINNEY ISD (verified owner) –

    It was very slow! I think she could’ve gone faster on the slides. I was a bit bored.

  7. Griselda C. – LAREDO ISD (verified owner) –

    Great idea on using photographs to develop the students’ curiosity and encouraging them to want to learn more.

  8. Cathy – Bulloch County Schools (verified owner) –

    very helpful – included classroom strategies
