Testimonials - What do the educators say...

"The instructors were very inspirational, and they provided many tools that I plan to employ in my classroom. They showed us ways to teach the technology with cost efficient, yet effective methods.  The ideas also lend themselves well to modification.  Additionally, the instructors are true educators! They were very active in the lab, provoking thought, providing guidance, and they were truly enthusiastic about their teaching."

"Two years ago the Consortium asked me "what kind of program would be most interesting?" This week's class met and exceeded the needs I identified two years ago! It is very gratifying to know that the Space Grant program listens and designs programs to meet educator's needs! Thanks."
