The new development for educational technology. I became a member here since their goal is to improve learning and teaching by advancing the effective use of technology in PK-12 and higher education.
This is a paid site, however, it is so woarth the investment. I use it myself from time to time when I have a moment of fustration or a lack of knowledge in a certian area. I use it with my students and teachers who struggle with technology. It is a great site. I also suggest Youtube as well but advise to be carefull on selecting the right tutorial
