Where do you go for new teaching ideas?
Good teachers are always on the lookout for new lesson ideas and classroom strategies. Good teachers are always getting better!
Unfortunately, there is a lot of noise and bad information you need to sift through to find the good stuff:
- Facebook groups are full of opinions and outdated information.
- Pinterest is overrun with TPT links and paid content
- Twitter is filled with politics.
- Do you really need another email newsletter?
If you are looking for a simple way to learn about updates to your favorite edTech products and be introduced to new tools and teaching ideas, join me for “Wednesday Webinars with John”!
