This brought a variety of tools to my attention. Some I’m already familiar with, but I might have been shown a different way to use it, and many were new to me.

Audra – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –
I thought that there were a lot of great tools that I have not heard of before. I feel like sometimes I am using all the same tools that every other teacher in the school uses and they kids grow sick of them. I am looking forward to testing some of these out and getting them vetted by our district so I can use them in the classroom!
