Interactive Curriculum Connections
| What
are past participants saying about the course?
"It was a very interesting
class that was easily adjusted to the different levels
of knowledge of the students. I like how geographically
diverse the students were. The ideas were creative and
interesting."
"I am so glad that this
class was offered. I have really been able to receive
some great information. The information that I received
was not only great for me, but a lot of the content
I can pass on to other teachers. Hopefully, this will
get more teachers involved in this wonderful technology."
"I feel like I really
got my money's worth from this class! Thanks for offering
it!"
"As a media specialist,
I think this course would be extremely useful for my
teachers and staff."
"This is actually the
first on-line course I've taken, and I am quite impressed.
Obviously you've put much time and thought into these
materials and methods. I got a number of good ideas
and insights from the other participants postings and
replies to posts. Discussion of this type is a key to
understanding and internalizing new information."
"The information presented
was all very useful. The contacts made with other schools
around the country will be a very valuable resource
to tap in the future as will some of the content provider
sites." |
