"I learned a lot from this course because the assignments and the resources provided were all extremely relevant and helpful. The discussions and collaborative documents were great for gaining new ideas of things to try in my own classroom and for hearing different perspectives on certain key issues. It was helpful that Jason used various types of formative assessment with technology for the class assignments so that we could see examples of how these resources might be used. The feedback from Jason was extremely thorough and helpful and I also found it helpful to have the other students in the class provide feedback on my lessons and discussion posts. Thanks for a great course!"

"I was very inspired by the course, and applied it straightaway in my IT mentoring. I felt the ISTE standards integration was helpful. I regretted we, as participants, did not engage more between each other. All too busy keeping our head above water. Kevin gave thorough guidance within a very supportive framework. I admire the work and method he offered us."

"I enjoyed the course very much and learnt a lot. If you are a beginner in yoga and start off with the idea that yoga is practising asana's (a stretching class), then this course will teach you that there is a lot more to it. The asana's are only one 'limb' of Patanjali's eight limbs of yoga. You will get a good overview, followed by a guided interaction to apply the learned principles to your own life. The discussion forum and direct contact with Misa, both through Skype and e-mail, are very important in this process. Writing on the forum and writing the two essays helped me to become more aware of my own thoughts and to get new insights.
Misa's videos of the asana's are ideal for yoga beginners. They were clear, slow and well-instructed. It's a great way to get into a daily yoga practice."

"The ASB courses provide the ideal solution for busy people like me who need to keep up with new technology but have limited time. The learning tools were reliable and easy to use, tutors extremely helpful and the activities interactive. I was surprised at how much I learnt about Google Docs and how much I enjoyed learning with people from around the world. I have been able to quickly and easily put the learning into practice without the need to spend days out of the office, thank you. I would have no hesitation in recommending ASB online academy courses and I plan to undertake more courses with you in the future."

"I thought it was a good course and what I liked was that the activities and questions used where linking it back to how it can help improve the students and my learning. I liked the reflective part of how would I use this with students. I also liked that options were shown of other programs and evidence given as to why this one had been chosen."

"I was very happy that the course was able to stay open little longer; things were very busy at home but this flexibility allowed me to stay on track. Debbie was very supportive, helpful and present, I felt it was an enjoyable, safe learning environment. It is also kind of addictive. Now I m feeling like..what next?"
