    Great ideas and presentation on online resources.

  2. Mary – PFLUGERVILLE ISD (verified owner) –

    I loved it! It was up to date how students are learning today. It was presented from the mindset for teaching all students. I loved the website options that are available.

  3. Marissa – Private Pay (verified owner) –

    I enjoyed this course, but felt it was extremely technology-based. I don’t think the speaker gave a single strategy that didn’t include technology and I do believe there are other meaningful ways to engage gifted students that don’t involve technology.

    I enjoyed learning about some different technology pieces I could use.
