Top Tech Tools for Teachers in 2021

Top Tech Tools for Teachers in 2021!
In this week's education technology tutorial, Sam Kary of The New EdTech Classroom shows you key features for his picks for best edtech programs for teachers in 2021. Specifically, Sam shows you tools that help you do things with your teaching that would be much more challenging, if not impossible, without technology. For example, you'll learn about tech tools that turn any activity or piece of content into an interactive learning experience, tools that turn boring quizzes into engrossing games, tools that help you make faster, more effective video tutorials with the help of artificial intelligence, tools that both you and your students can use to explore your creativity when using technology, and more.
