#EdTech Thought

Spring 2020 Update!

Featured Content

With no NCAA Tournaments in March 2020, it was up to this podcast to come through with riveting match-ups and down to the wire finishes! The only difference is that the House of #EdTech Final Four is all about your favorite #edtech tools and websites. The 2020 edition began with 32 ‘teams’ matched up in four regions. The regions were Create, Collaborate, Communicate, and Critical Thinking.

Through weekly voting, during the month of March, you narrowed the field to four.

Flipgrid, Book Creator App, YouTube Live, and EdPuzzle were your favorites in 2020. The last round of voting created a championship match-up of Flipgrid vs. EdPuzzle. Over the course of this episode, I break down Flipgrid and EdPuzzle by sharing tips and applications of both tools in elementary and secondary classrooms.
