Power edTech Weekly
A weekly bulletin of tips, tricks, and news in edtech
Week of 10/7/19
This week's edition features some information about my new favorite tool; Pear Deck, an update on a previous post on "Going Gradeless", some info on CommonLit, Step 2 for getting started with Google Classroom, and a book recommendation.
A reminder that the Worcester Edcamp is coming up on Saturday, October 19. This free event is an awesome way to connect with other educators in central Massachusetts. The focus of this Edcamp is...
...WHATEVER YOU WANT! That's the beauty of Edcamps! Have something to share; lead a session. Want to learn about something; there will be someone there that can teach you! Looking for ideas? Lots to choose from!
