Caroline was fantastic! This course was well planned out, the expectations were clear, and the assignments were very engaging! I can't wait to incorporate virtual field-trips as an instructional tool with my students.

Caroline was amazing! ThingLink is an easy-to-use (even for a non-tech person) fun tool for differentiated learning!

I found this course to be much more useful than I original anticipated it would be. I learned quite a bit and have new ideas for how students can use it, as well as how I can be more efficient with ThingLink in my subject area (world language). The instructor is VERY timely with feedback and communication if you have questions. For a 2 credit course, you definitely have work to do, but I got a lot out of it.
