This was an excellent course that
enabled me to understand and practice new skills needed to assist my students
with internet searches. (Cheryl Ellis)
The directions for the
assignments were very easy for me to follow. The skills and search techniques
that I learned will prove very valuable to me in class. I think my students will
be very motivated by the interactive web sites I found for science and it
motivates me to find more for other subjects. I had fun doing my scavenger hunt
and I can't wait for my students to try it out! (Wendy Funk)
Excellent content! Information was current,
concise and presented in a user friendly way. Lessons could be taught
immediately and results seen right away. I enjoyed the opportunity to take the
course at my own pace and when I found time in my schedule to devote to the
various lessons. It's great to be able to do the assignments at 11:00 at night
or 8:00 in the morning! (Cindy McIntyre)
The feedback and responses I
have received from the instructor have been outstanding. Even though this is an
online course, I feel as if I have received more feedback than I have received
in the past from the traditional learning environment. The instructor made us
feel comfortable and has provided feedback that is both appropriate and timely.
Both the content and the resources were outstanding. I have printed the entire
course for reference. The examples provide were most helpful as well. The
objectives for the course were clear and achievable. (Faricia M. King)
The format
was ideal for me. Being able to work at my own pace and in my home was one of
the main reasons I took this course. The grading rubrics were extremely helpful
and the bulletin board easy to use. Excellent program!
(Michelle Osborne)
The course format was very
easy to follow, and I looked forward to accessing the bulletin board after my
submissions. I liked having the rubrics to establish exactly what I needed to
determine my own grade. This is my first online course, and I was very
impressed. (Linda Cole)
Excellent content and useful
resources-a very convenient way to update my knowledge base and skills. (Tracy

The content and format was
extremely user friendly. It is very difficult to work and be a student at the
same time, however with this course it was painless. Thanks. (Frances

I walked away with a lot of
useful knowledge. It was a fun course but very practical. (William

descriptive and helpful. It was refreshing to have an instructor with recent
classroom experience. She knew the curriculum and was able to respond to
specific subject matter. (Kim Gardner)
I thought the course was great.
The material was very practical for all grade levels. (Tim Wolter)
I was able to find several
strategies and ideas that will be very useful in my classroom. Some of the
internet links provided are excellent. I especially loved the variety of graphic
organizers that were provided. I will watch your website for further
opportunities for classes in the independent study section. (Talesa
Bath Vickroy)
Content provided valuable
information on current practices and strategies utilized for reading
comprehension in the lower elementary grades. It could be used immediately in
the classroom. (Carolyn Leslie)
I thoroughly enjoyed the course
and learned a lot of great information to take back to my classroom. As a first
year teacher the resources have been and will be extremely helpful. (Jami-Lyn
Bari)

Her feedback was constructive. She was helpful to me in every aspect of the
course. (James Brannon)

day. (Jennifer Stevens)

for in test taking. (Freda Espinoza-Talleur)
