Student Testimonial
This training was absolutely fabulous! Johnathan Gillig was just a wealth of knowledge and ideas for becoming a digitally proficient educator. He provided so many resources that can be readily used in the classroom and I will be incorporating many of these this year. I would highly recommend this course to any teacher and will be letting my colleagues know about it. I loved learning about Google apps so in-depth through this course and am very excited about Google Keep and the Google digital lessons and curriculum. The tips for Google Slides, Forms, and Docs were so helpful to create more visually engaging content for students. The use of Twitter is something that I never knew could be so informative for an educator and am looking forward to trying it out. I loved the resources for varied reading level articles and materials through Newsela, CommonLit, and Readworks. As a special educator, these are so perfect for my students with various reading abilities. I just got so much out of this course. Thank you!
