Free Technology for Teachers Resource
Richard Byrne is a former high school social studies teacher best known for developing the award-winning Free Technology for Teachers Blog. He has presented on 6 continents and believes all educational technology serves one of three basic purposes; discovery of information, discussion of information, and demonstration of knowledge. He describes the purpose of his work as sharing information about free resources that teachers can use in their classrooms. Amid the plethora of information Richard shares, his Practical Ed Tech Handbook is a great place to start digging in!
A/B Calendar Reminder
