You don’t know what you don’t know, right? And there are SO many educational technology tools out there, with new ones arriving and leaving us everyday, that it’s hard to keep up.
That’s why I started these monthly 5 in 5 episodes that highlight five edtech tools in five minutes (okay, you caught me-under six minutes). You may not have the time to go searching for a specific tool for hours and then spend a few more hours learning how to use the tool. But surely you have five minutes to learn about five different tools each month!
Obviously, you won’t find out everything you need to know about a tool in one minute. At least this is a starting point. You’ll be able to judge if the tool is worth your time and get an idea if it has a place in your classroom based on your needs.
So, if you’ve got 15 minutes now, get caught up on the first three episodes. For the videos, the Prezis, Diigo links to all the sites featured in the episodes and more, visit my website. If you don’t want to miss another episode, subscribe to the iTunes podcast channel here.
What sites do you think I should feature?
Tech To You Later!

Katie,
Really enjoyed your content, especially your use of video. I am trying to incorporate more video on my blog and this gives me some great ideas. I am a special education teacher so I am always looking for technology to help my kids access the general curriculum. I’ll be checking our your site for more resources.
Thanks!
