Four years ago, in another somewhat futile attempt to reduce the backlog of resources I want to share, I began this occasional “Ed Tech Digest” post where I share three or four links I think are particularly useful and related to…ed tech.

Laptops, Chromebooks or tablets? Deciding what’s best for the nation’s schools is from The Hechinger Report. I’m adding it to The Best Resources For Using Chromebooks In The Classroom – Help Me Find More.

I’ve previously posted about the Smithsonian Learning Labs (see Smithsonian Learning Labs Now Lets You Create Free Virtual Classrooms & Assignments). They just shared a great blog post talking about how teachers can create neat online categorization activities for students, and included two different examples. I’m adding this info to The Best Resources About Inductive Learning & Teaching.

Knowhere is a new site that uses Artificial Intelligence to create three different versions of the same article – “right, left and impartial.” I’m not sure how useful it will be, but it’s probably worth a look. You can read more about it at TechCrunch.
