The purpose of this site is to provide teachers with access to materials and resources. Nowadays, education and technology are so intertwined that almost every teacher has a few favorite tech tools that make their job and connecting with students a little bit easier and more enjoyable. Below is a list of some of the tech tools I have collected during my time as a librarian, including some that have become increasingly popular and widely used.
