He’s very knowledgable; however, it’s a little like drinking out of a fire hose.
Donna – GALVESTON ISD (verified owner) –
Pretty informative
Stephanie – HALLSVILLE ISD (verified owner) –
I knew most of the basic information. I felt he skimmed over what I really needed. I also felt lost on the sites he suggested I visit. I wasn’t sure what to do or where to start.
Glenn – CONROE ISD (verified owner) –
The course presented a lot of options to use in a technology setting.
Nicole – PLANO ISD (verified owner) –
This course had some great ideas! I wish there were some example projects and ways that they could be used with students. I know he made some suggestions but it would be cool if we could see some teacher created projects and assignments to show them in use. Overall, great course!
Jodi – MANSFIELD ISD (verified owner) –
The course has good information.
Beatriz – PHARR-SAN JUAN-ALAMO ISD (verified owner) –

I did not enjoy this course. The presenter always seemed to be at a loss for words and continually used slang and nonessential fillers such as, “um,” “uh,” “ya know,” “stuff”, and “tu” rather than to. It made is difficult to listen to. I also didn’t like how I had to go to a link (which wasn’t active) to learn about that which I needed to reflect on. I had to learn the material from a separate source to answer the question within the presentation. One time I even had to reflect on the tool before the presenter even taught about it.
Kristen – East Muskingum Local Schools (verified owner) –
I felt that this course was more about showcasing the different sites rather than how to use
them with gifted students.
Tammie – East Muskingum Local Schools (verified owner) –
Good ideas and info on Google applications. However, one should be able to click on web addresses (as a link) that we were to visit, especially on a course about using technology.
