I've taken a lot of courses through FPU over the years and everyone of them has exceeded my expectations. Eric Westland is a kind, caring instructor that provides great feedback and is prompt in his communications. Great experience!

I had enough instruction through the videos that I was able to complete projects and learn about the Tinkercad interface. Mr. Westland gave prompt, thoughtful and encouraging feedback on my assignments. I got to explore various tools and construct lessons. The final project is something that I am proud of, it has been something that I have wanted to do for a while and it made me feel really accomplished. It was also nice being able to 3D print the objects I constructed on Tinkercad. Hope that other teachers get this experience. It fills a need that I had for a course that many places don't have. I will miss waking up to my assignment feedback.

Although I have worked with Tinkercad for years, Eric Westland's Teaching With Tinkercad class exposed me to applications and tools of Tinkercad that I had not previously used. My students will certainly benefit from what I have learned in this course. The course content and assignments are exceptionally well-organized and applicable to the Art Tech classes that I teach. During the course, Mr. Westland consistently provided grades for assignments and feedback within 24-hours, and often on the same day. Because of my positive experience as a student in Teaching with Tinkercad, I have forwarded information about Fresno Pacific University to the professional development director of my school so that my colleagues will know about the learning opportunities that FPU provides.

This was a great course, and I looked foward to working on each assignment. It never felt easy or overwhelmingly hard. The timely and personalized feedback was amazing and crucial to my learning.

This was a great course - thanks Eric for always providing rapid and personalized feedback. I loved having an excuse to spend quality time in TinkerCad and the progression of the projects provided a great framework. I feel confident that the skills I gained through this course as well as the units I developed for the various modules will be a huge help in the fall with my students. I will certainly recommend this course to the other ML teachers in my CTE cohort in the district!

This was a great class- I was able to add skills to what I already had. This will allow me to give more challenging assignments this coming year

This course was fantastic. I thought that I had self taught myself a decent amount of Tinkercad, but I found that there was so much more. Module 5: Modeling Assignments was my favorite part of the course, and I felt like I learned so much about the platform in that module. Before taking this course, I never would have felt confident enough to design the train that I did, but when I got to that assignment, I was able to build it without any problems because of the scaffolding that Eric has built into the course. I feel so much more empowered and confident to teach with this application moving forward.

I absolutely loved this class. I am definitely not good with designing, however this class definitely allowed me to practice basic skills. Eric was very good with explaining steps, providing resources and answering any questions. He was also very personable with his students. After completion of this course I feel like I have a better understanding of Tinkercad and can more easily move throughout the site and assist students with their designs. I would encourage anyone who is interested in Tinkercad to take this course.

In this course, you will be fully immersed as a student but never lose sight of the fact that you are a teacher. You will learn how to use Tinkercad far beyond beginner level for yourself and you will make intentional plans to use in your classroom. The instructional videos, instructor explanations and flexible assignments are engaging, applicable and enjoyable.

I really enjoyed my time in this course. I’ve learned a lot about Tinkercad that I didn’t know before, and have frequently been using several of these tips, tricks, and tools with students. Eric is a wonderful instructor who was always prompt with grading and feedback. He was also quick to respond if I ever had a question or needed help with something. I appreciated the tutorial videos he included with the modules; I’m a visual learner, so they truly added to my learning experience.

This was very insightful and informational even though I've been using Tinkercad for the last eight years and this course was very beneficial. I enjoyed the different projects and liked the freedom to work on things of interest to me at times as well, while learning and applying concepts from this class.

As a school counselor, STEM applications are not my strong suit. With that being said, Eric was extremely supportive throughout the course, making this course a meaningful experience.

Great class because the instructor was willing to work with me and my disabilities. It is too bad not all instructors are able or willing to reach out and understand that people really do want to work- they simply have to work around their personal barriers. This instructor is top notch. I also gained a lot from the course and course materials.

I am really glad that I took this course. I have been looking for a student friendly, age appropriate 3D design program to use with my Middle School students in our Tech/Ed classroom to help with our designing/building/prototyping. I found this course to be very straight forward and logically put together. I feel that I will be prepared and able to share what I have learned with my students once we are back in school. I can't wait to start Tinkering with my students!!! Thank you for all your help/suggestions Prof. Westland!

Great Course! I highly recommend taking this course as all classrooms should incorporate STEAM into their curriculum. Great instructor, the models naturally built upon one and other using previous knowledge gained. Students will build confidence in Tinkercad skills as they progress through the modules. I never thought I could create and build such complicated CAD models. I can't wait to share all my new skills with my student, they will be eager to learn all the cool things you can do in Tinkercad.
