Great learning does not have to come with a price tag. This poster presentation highlights free digital tools that help teachers create engaging learning experiences, streamline workflows and empower students to create, collaborate and share their thinking in meaningful ways. Explore a curated collection of powerful, classroom-friendly tools and learn the purpose of each one, its key features and practical examples of how it can be used with students. You will also pick up strategies for selecting the right tool based on your instructional goals. Because these tools require little to no setup, you can quickly weave them into existing lessons, projects, assessments and classroom routines. Whether you want to boost creativity, increase engagement or expand your instructional toolbox, you will leave with new resources, example use cases, fresh inspiration and the confidence to introduce these tools to students and colleagues right away, without spending a dime.
