Keeping up with these ever changing terms can be a challenge – these resources will help!
With the ever-evolving nature of education technology, it can be helpful to have some resources to tap into to learn the meaning of a word or phrase you haven't come across before.
With this in mind, I scoured the web for resources. Â While there is no shortage of education terminology resources, there were few good edtech terminology resources I found (on the other hand, there was a surprising number of links that led to dead ends).
Here are the best resources I found thus far. If anyone is aware of any similar resources, I certainly hope you'll share them in a comment. Thanks!
The Education Technology Dictionary from EdShelf
This is the most straightforward reference I came across – a good old fashioned list:

Encyclopedia of Terminology for Educational Communications and Technology
This is a Google Book, and it is a very rich resource:
