Cool Tools 2023

This last year has been packed full of technology advances and innovative educational tools to go along with them. It seems like every week there is something new.

As we wrap up 2023 I will be sharing 24 of my favorite "Cool Tools" (in no particular order) from this year, with one new entry per day from December 1st through 24th (sort of like an EdTech advent calendar).

For this year I am going with the theme of artificial intelligence tools and resources, since that has been the hot topic.

See below for options on how to access each entry of "Cool Tools 2023".
