EDT118 Padlet TA, Pear Assessment, Quizizz, Bitly, EduShare.ing, and Talking Chips

Today on the Educational Duct Tape podcast, I’ve got five edtech
updates  that might impact your classroom and one
educational strategy that’s new to me. I’ll start with the bad
news first, which is Bitly adding ads to short links (not cool,
Bitly) and then get into the good news, like a new educator-made
alternative to Bitly and an AI teaching assistant from Padlet.
Plus, handy updates from Pear Assessment and Quizizz that could
save you some serious prep time. And then that educational
strategy called Talking Chips. Curious yet? Press Play!
