How to Use EdTech for Project-Based Learning - HoET242

Author: Christopher J. Nesi March 3, 2024 Duration: 36:35

In this episode, we explore how integrating technology into Project-Based Learning (PBL) can enhance accessibility, engagement, and impact for students. In the #EdTech Thought, I reflect on self-doubt and ask, "Am I really trying my best?" I also highlight Brisk Teaching, a free AI-powered Chrome extension that helps teachers save time by generating personalized materials, providing targeted feedback, and detecting AI writing. In the Featured Content, we dive into tips for selecting the right EdTech tools for PBL, ensuring they align with learning objectives, are age-appropriate, facilitate collaboration, and are accessible. We also cover essential resources like Trello, Asana, Google Docs, Canva, Flip, and more, plus a bonus recommendation for avoiding formatting issues with the Google Docs add-on "Markdown to Docs."
