EDT118 Padlet TA, Pear Assessment, Quizizz, Bitly, EduShare.ing, and Talking Chips
Today on the Educational Duct Tape podcast, I’ve got five edtech updates that might impact your classroom and one educational strategy that’s new to me. I’ll start with the bad news first, which is Bitly adding ads to short links (not cool, Bitly) and then get into the good news, like a new educator-made alternative to Bitly and an AI teaching assistant from Padlet. Plus, handy updates from Pear Assessment and Quizizz that could save you some serious prep time. And then that educational strategy called Talking Chips. Curious yet? Press Play!
