    60 Tech Tools in 60 Minutes is an excellent, fast-paced professional development session that highlights a wide variety of useful technology tools for today’s classrooms. In just one hour, it introduces tools that encourage creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, and productivity.

  3. Kristen – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –

    I think this is a great idea, but many of the sites he mentioned are already familiar to my students and me. I realize how hard it would be to keep this updated.

  4. Travis – DEFIANCE CITY (verified owner) –

    This course gave me an opportunity to look at some tools that I have never seen or used.

  5. Alexis – CARROLL ISD (verified owner) –

    Lots of useful tools in this course.

    The technology workshop was highly engaging and practical, providing valuable strategies and tools that I can immediately apply in my classroom.

  8. Michele – SPRINGFIELD CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT (verified owner) –

    I found this course to be very informative and practical. It covered a wide variety of tools, resources, and strategies that I can use in the classroom, from motivating students to read with wish lists and graphic novels to using tech tools like Scratch, Nearpod, and Diigo. I appreciated that the course included both hands on digital tools and creatve reading strategies, and some of the challenging questions helped me think more deeply about how to apply these ideas. Overall, I would recommend this course to other educators because it provides useful, real world strategies that can improve student engagement and learning.

  9. Beth – BUCKEYE LOCAL (verified owner) –

    I love the information presented, and I didn’t feel like the presenter was trying to sell me something which often happens when we are presented with tech tools. The only drawback is that some of the information may be outdated, but with apps and technology, that is bound to happen quickly.

  10. Oswaldo – DEL VALLE ISD (verified owner) –

    Great course, provided a lot of resources for educators to play around with and do further research on – to see whether it would be a good addition to have in their classroom. There were a few resources in the presentation that I am actually interested in experimenting with myself.

  11. Sara – LAREDO ISD (verified owner) –

    The course provides a multitude of resources any educator will find useful.

  12. Agustina – SAN FELIPE-DEL RIO CISD (verified owner) –

    great ideas

  13. Dayna – RIO GRANDE CITY GRULLA ISD (verified owner) –

    It gave a good list of various online resources to make learning more engaging.

  14. Irene – LOS FRESNOS CISD (verified owner) –

    This is one of the most informative courses I have seen on this site. I love all of the resources provided and ideas that the presenter introduced.

  15. NELEIGH – DEL VALLE ISD (verified owner) –

    It has lots of resources.

  16. Anna – BIG WALNUT LOCAL (verified owner) –

    Although this course is a bit dated, I’m excited to explore these resources further to see which ones I can incorporate into my classroom. I’m hoping some of them have stood the test of time. I enjoyed the presenter. He was well-spoken, engaging, and I like that he shared several different resources and summarized what each was/did. It was organized and to the point. I didn’t find myself having to refocus at all during his presentation.
