#EdTech Recommendation

Bingo Baker: Bingo Baker makes it easy to create bingo cards. You can generate hundreds of random cards and print them using the printer-friendly PDF (with no ads or watermarks). You can also save paper (and waste electricity instead) by playing your bingo game online (it works on the iPad).

Just type your words into the grid. You can give your game a title and can change the BINGO column headings too.

Then click the Generate button.
