Free Productivity Resources for Educators
Posted By K. Walsh On December 5, 2010 @ 8:54 am In | 45 Comments
This listing is divided into two key groups - tools intended specifically for educators, and general applications intended for everyone.
We’ve made an effort to provide a worthy set of resources in each of these categories (and to avoid resources that seem of lesser quality or functionality). All of these applications are free (some have both free and paid versions). Some sites may require registration. If you know of any similar quality tools that you think deserve consideration, please drop a comment below.
This listing benefits greatly from reader input, so don’t hesitate to share! Thanks.
