"I truly believe technology enhances the classroom, but I never think it should be used just for the sake of using it.

Follow the diagram until you either reach a list of tech tools to help you or your students complete this task or you reach a prompting question, such as "do you need them to do this verbally?" Based on your yes or no answer, you'll finally come to a list of edtech tools."

We hope to positively impact the learning of students in our members' classrooms by making these highly effective lessons available to them free of charge. "
