EDT127 Quizizz Becomes Wayground, Google Classroom Add-ons, Edpuzzle Quizizz and Slides, a Soapbox, and more!

What do a name change, a new font, and fewer browser tabs have in
common? In this episode, I unpack the Quizizz rebrand to
Wayground, share Edpuzzle’s leap beyond video with new
interactive tools, highlight Google Classroom’s latest add-on
integrations, and spotlight Google Fonts’ Playwrite—a typeface
built to support handwriting instruction. Plus, in the Soapbox
moment, I reflect on my son learning to drive and the lessons
we’re both picking up along the way.
