" I thoroughly enjoy Jon Maska's classes because there is enough freedom in the assignments to actually make the work I do for the workshop applicable to my job. They are the only classes I have taken as continuing education classes that I have gone on to use what I prepared during the workshop with my students. Having the time and resources provided to be able to create a simple, easy to implement, anti bullying mini course that I will use during our seminar time (and that quite possibly will be implemented

school wide) was a fantastic use of my time."

"This class was packed full of useful tools for my upcoming school year! My favorite class of Jon Maska’s so far! This class was interactive and engaging - and that’s hard to do in the middle of the summer! Kudos to Jon for making learning FUN for teachers!"

"I LOVED the resources Jon supplied in this class. I will be referring to these resources for years to come! The course reignited my desire to engage my students with a variety of resources. I tend to overuse resources. Having a few new tools in my toolbox will help me get out of a slump and change things up a bit."

"List of resources and engaging activities is already created due to the assignments in class. Ready to hit the ground running in August."

"I'm excited to utilize some of the apps and websites I discovered during this class. I also enjoyed the group shares regarding coming up with fun games/activities to utilize in my sessions. This was a fun class and I'm glad I was able to walk away with many more tools to pull from during the upcoming school year."

"Thank you Jon for making these classes available and hopefully you will continue in the future! Hats off to you all in Middle and High School....and I thought I was busy in Elementary!!"

"I can't wait to use the websites and the apps in my classroom. I have used some video clips here and there during the geography semester of my class, but mostly used them during Kansas history. I feel like I have tools to use now all year! My students will be so engaged and love learning more than the lecture I fell into too easily."

"I feel like I will be more sensitive to many types of diversity in my classes. This course made me more aware of how very diverse our kids are! I am going to make a bigger effort to find ways to involve parents and to be a better observer of how diversity affects my students in terms of instructional methods (collaboration vs. individual work, for instance)."
