Join 16,000+ Who Get Their Ed Tech Tips This Way

Every Sunday evening I send out the Practical Ed Tech Tip of the Week. I started doing that four years ago as a way to provide people who want to get their ed tech tips in weekly format instead of a daily format. In the weekly mailing I include my tip of the week (usually with a video tutorial or two) and a list of the previous week's most popular posts on Free Technology for Teachers.

As of this week more than 16,000 people have subscribed to my Practical Ed Tech Tip of the Week. You can subscribe here or through the form embedded below.

Animations, Screencasts, and Podcasts - The Week in Review

Good morning from Maine where I'm home for a while after nearly four weeks of speaking at conferences and consulting with schools. When I started my little tour there were leaves on all of the trees in my yard. This morning I woke up to discover that one of those trees is completely bare. In other words, autumn is in full swing here in Maine. This is my favorite time of year to be outside. As soon as my daughter wakes from her nap, we're going to play outside. I hope that wherever you are this weekend that you get outside to play too.

These were the week's most popular posts on FreeTech4Teachers.com:
1. Using Brush Ninja and Screencastify to Make Science Presentations
2. Two Detailed Presentations About Copyright for Educators
3. How to Use Automatic Captioning in Google Slides
4. How to Create Personalized Certificates in Bulk Through Google Sheets

Book Me for Your Conference

I’ve given keynotes at conferences from Australia to Alaska for groups of all sizes from 50 to 2,000+. My keynotes focus on providing teachers and school administrators with practical ways to use technology to create better learning experiences for all students.
