As a tech explorer and author of the Wonder Tools newsletter, I’ve tested more than 200 Ed Tech services this year in search of the 10 most useful teaching tools. The massive number of apps and sites clamoring for teachers’ collective attention can be exhausting. So this guide is intended to help you gauge what’s actually worth your time.
Each of these top 10 tools is valuable whether you’re working with little kids, grad students, or learners in between. These services are all free to try, with paid upgrades available. I teach college and grad students, have two elementary school kids of my own and have worked with teachers at all levels for more than two decades. So you’ll find here tools designed to enhance teaching at all levels.
