Ten 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, including some Web 2.0 apps.

You might also be interested in THE BEST ED TECH RESOURCES OF 2021 – PART ONE, as well as checking out all my edtech resources.

Here are this week’s choices:

Tiny Wow lets you do a lot of things to PDF documents.  I’m adding it to Not “The Best,” But “A List” Of Ways To Convert PDF & Word Documents.

Free Assistive Tech Tools That Support Academic Success is from Edutopia.

However, I’m also feeling that students might be getting tired of too much screen time at school. This year, since I have a lot of peer tutors, I’m trying out having students in my Newcomers class go back to writing on paper with support from the tutors. I’ll let you know how that goes.

But it could be useful just as a change-of-pace for students.
