Educational Resources

(Updated December 31, 2024)

I’ve curated and evaluated these sites for educators and course designers.

eLearning – General Information

eLearn Magazine is an ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) publication that covers research and practice.

Tech & Learning has lots of well-written, in-depth articles on technology in K-12 and higher education. One of my favorite sites.

EdSurge provides valuable posts and news on current topics in online learning.

GCFLearnFree.org, developed by the Goodwill Community Foundation, is a free tutorial site for productivity software and various web tools. Easy to navigate.

Free Technology for Teachers is a popular site among educators. Blogger Richard Byrne provides descriptions and links to all sorts of cool resources.
