💻 TECH TIP 💻

🖥️ 20+ sources of free digital content for your class

If somebody has made it — and it’s out there waiting for you to use it — why reinvent the wheel?

When you know where to look for pre-made digital resources and activities you can give to your students, it can save tons of time — and improve learning for students.

In this post — 20+ sources of free digital content for your class — I share some of my favorite resources, like the Smithsonian Learning Lab, the National Archives, PBSLearningMedia, and more.

💡 THE BIG IDEA 💡

🎙️ My 6 FETC presentations: Video, slides and more

If you didn’t make it to the FETC Conference this year in Orlando, Florida, I have you covered!

I presented several times in the expo hall — and did a handful of conference breakout sessions as well!

I want to help you feel like you were at conference (as much as possible, anyway).

Below you’ll find:

• 📺 full video of FOUR expo hall sessions on edtech tools/apps

• 📃 downloadable PDF notes summaries of those sessions

• 🖥️ slides from TWO of my own breakout sessions (on AI cheating and prompting)

• 👀 lots of additional resources for all of them

Enjoy … and I hope to catch up with you at a teacher conference one day! (PS: I’ll be at the TCEA Conference in San Antonio, Texas, in less than two weeks!)
