Testimonials
Educators that have taken an NSTA Online Short Course
have commended the course for its ease of use, knowledgeable presenters, high level
of interactivity, richness of course materials, and convenience. Read below the
testimonials shared by past participants.
"I have taken two NSTA Online Short Courses and I thoroughly enjoyed both. The class meetings fit in with my schedule and I benefited greatly from the interaction with other educators from around the world. Additionally, because of my school's continuing commitment to professional development, I was able to receive some tuition support. I came away from both classes with improved content knowledge and many ideas I can use in my elementary science classroom.
I knew online learning was for me when I was able to take my computer on vacation and sign in for class while sitting on a resort balcony overlooking the pool--what a way to learn! Thanks NSTA--I'm looking forward to the next Online Short Course!"

“I appreciated having [the Instructor] be able to answer questions and explain things
to us. The [live web sessions] in conjunction with the book and SciPack were very
good.”
Elementary School Teacher, Alaska
“Even though, I teach third grade inclusion and we do not have a unit on force and
motion, this course has been quite meaningful. The visual, comics, simulations,
and the [live web sessions] have helped me better understand Newton's Laws of Motion.”
Elementary School Teacher, New York
“I really enjoyed becoming familiar with new technology. It is interesting to be
learning alongside other teachers from around the country.”
Middle School Teacher, California
“I really like the interaction available for each participant. The ability to hear
the presenters and participants and use a whiteboard is extremely helpful.”
Elementary School Teacher, Michigan
“Although I have taken several physics courses, I find physics a very difficult
area of science. The course was very beneficial in reviewing key concepts and forcing
me to examine my own understanding. I was so impressed with the software used I'm
still talking about it with my colleagues.”
High School Teacher, Indiana
