This is Jennifer Gonzalez welcoming you to episode 202 of the Cult of Pedagogy podcast.

0:05.3

In this episode, I'll be sharing six edtech tools you should check out in 2023.

If you've been listening to my podcast for a while, you know that every year,

0:26.8

I put out a new edition of my teacher's guide to tech. This year's guide is the ninth edition

0:32.4

and we put a tremendous amount of work into making it the best one ever. For starters,

0:37.6

we've added 120 new tools and four new categories, artificial intelligence,

0:43.3

drama and theater arts, early learners and literacy. We've also added a few new feature pages on

0:50.2

micro learning, working with English learners and publishing student writing. We also added a few

0:56.7

lists of 10 throughout the guide, curated lists of teaching related resources that didn't quite fit

1:46.4

The guide is packed with tools that can meet so many of your needs as a teacher, and many of them

1:52.4

are already well established and widely used. But every January, we like to choose six that we think

1:58.0

deserve a little extra attention. Most are not actually brand new to the world, but each one has

2:03.6

something special about it. Before we get started with the six tools, I would like to thank Hapara

2:09.2

for sponsoring this episode. Hapara is a suite of instructional management tools for K-12 that is

like nothing else. Hapara is the only tool on the market that provides ethical monitoring features,
