EdTech 10: School is Out, Learning is On

Several members of the Getting Smart team were originally teachers, so we know first hand that teachers don’t really have the whole summer “off.” Sure, the rhythm is different, but just because school is out it doesn’t mean that learning stops.
This week’s top ten list has news about some really cool opportunities for teachers to learn new things, test new tools and get inspired. Plus, we just launched an awesome new campaign called “It’s A Project-Based World.” If you’ve got a summer project you’re working on, we’d love for you to tell us about it in a blog, tweet us a picture or share a link using #ProjectBased.
