Educational Technology Reference Guide
These lists reflect various ed tech resources available to increase student engagement and promote effective teaching and learning. I regularly look for tools that are easy and intuitive to use, impactful and engaging for students or teachers, are very cost effective (preferably free), and which can easily scale. I am especially drawn to ed tech platforms that leverage multimedia, interactivity, and collaboration.
