“The mini PD course included with the Explorer system had a good variety of different tasks. I really enjoyed learning how to make every lesson a STEM lesson no matter what the subject or topic was. It gave a new breakdown and innovative ideas. Also, the digital portfolio was very neat. I would like to incorporate that in my gifted classroom as well, since my students need to be able to judge criteria and give constructive feedback to their peers at times. The site was very simple to use and incorporated a lot of the technology tools we already use in class. For students the website is easy to use and they can find what they are looking for in a “flash.” Amy Butler- Gifted Teacher, Picayune School District

Done!
