Some great education and instructional technology articles that may have slipped by you in the busy summer months.
During the summer months readership tends to fall off a bit, so when the school year gets rolling again I like to round up some of the “Best of Summer” here on EmergingEdTech. For those who did take a little time off, or just ease back on keeping up, here’s a half dozen of the articles you may have missed that I thought had a lot to offer. Take a few moments and catch up with some technology innovations, excellent resources, and a dash of inspiring thought leadership.
Too busy having fun this
summer to keep up with Ed Tech?
