Looking for a new e-tool? …here are 60 free ones! :)



May 6, 2016

If you’re looking for a new app to try out in class, or if you just want to see what’s out there, the Global Digital Citizen Foundation shared 60 e-tools that are available for teachers to try out in class, for free.

 

A variety…

Some of them are subject-specific, like math and language. And some are just general tools that can be used by any kind of teacher. I’m sure that you’re are already familiar with many of them, like Quizlet, Kahoot, and Padlet. But there are many more tools.

 

Examples

Project Gutenberg is a great resource for free e-books. They have many categories, but our weak students can definitely utilize the children bookshelf for accessible readings (an example).

 

And,…

many many more can be found here:
