About the Class
I like all the useful information this course has to offer.
I'm very interested in implementing technology, and this course
is offering ideas I never would have thought of on my own
(web quests esp.). I'm also able to brush up on lesson planning
around curriculum standards--great practice!
7th grade English/Language Arts, Schweinfurt, Germany
I knew this course would be beneficial, but it's also been
inspiring. I have not only formulated a strong unit plan for
future use, but I also have several ideas I'd like to share
with faculty at my school. There's a lot of info. on the web
that hasn't been tapped--a lot of programs available to teachers--and
this course has opened up these opportunities to me.

About the Instructors
I have a number of students in the Teaching with Technology
class and they're all very happy with the course and the instructor.
All the students comment on how responsive the instructor
is. That's great. Many thanks for the great work of you and
your other instructors. I know when my students are in UNI
classes, they'll be well taken care of. Thanks!
WGU Mentor, Salt Lake City, Utah
The thing that I have liked the most about the class is the
instructors. They have responded quickly and with important
information. They understand the material and they understand
the demands that are placed on us the students. They have
good and positive feedback with a lot of encouragement to
do better.
Math, Science, Physical Education teacher, Altamont, Utah
The information and the skills that I am learning have been
the most useful for me. However, specific immediate feedback
is awesome. Usually within a few hours I have feedback on
an assignment that I have turned in to my instructors. ...
I have been thoroughly impressed with my instructors and their
experience and expertise.
6th grade teacher, Elmo, Utah
I have really liked how the instructors have been helpful
in all that I have done by either giving positive feedback
or extra assistance where needed. I also appreciate how the
instructors get back in a very timely manner.

About the Materials
The material is concrete and realistic, I have enjoyed the
activities and readings. I find myself thinking of how I will
improve each class that I teach.
Child Development and Algebra teacher, Sandy, Utah
This course has been set up, in my opinion, perfectly. I
know exactly what reading assignments I have, I know what
activities I have to complete, and I know when my projects
are due. The web site is so functional.
6th grade teacher, Elmo, Utah
The readings get right to the point, there is not a lot of
extra stuff. The videos were fun to watch to see how other
teachers have implemented the topics. I liked working as a
team on some of the projects.
1st grade teacher, Syracuse, Utah
The class is well organized and has clearly labeled objectives
and activity descriptions.

Asynchronous Online Learning
Because of the online/work from home nature of the course
one of the unforeseen benefits has been the time to reflect.
I believe that I have internalized more because I can step
away several times while I am working and think about the
meaning of what I have just read.
Child Development and Algebra teacher, Sandy, Utah
I also like being able to do the work and learn on my schedule,
yet I still have structure in the definite date a project
is due. The long distance discussions are excellent, for you
can state your complete opinion without being interrupted
and then get feedback.
Math teacher, Colorado Springs, Colorado
I like the flexibility and convenience of the schedule. I
can work on it when I have time and when I can focus on the
work. ...I like reading other students' comments and activity
proposals. It gives me a new perspective, and I think that
since we communicate in written form through email, it forces
us to share more than we might in a live discussion in a traditional
class.
English teacher, Raymond, Washington
