Here's what our students are saying about our online courses:

"I wanted to thank you for the great course you taught this summer.  I have been using my SmartBoard every day, so far, in my classes, and I am becoming more and more enthusiastic about it.  Of course, I spend almost two hours every evening creating lessons, but I learned the basics this summer and I have continued to expand my skills and knowledge.  I can honestly say that I learn something new every day!  I'm finding it to be challenging and fun to explore different SmartBoard elements, and my students are also engaged and excited (as much as can be expected) by the lessons. 
 
Your course gave me the basics and the confidence to utilize this new, previously unfamiliar piece of technology.  Thank you."

 - Renee D., Summer 2011 student in an email to her instructor
