21st Century School Leaders – What’s in Your Toolbox? – SimpleK12:
Administrators are some of the busiest educators out there... they don't really have the time to search for the BEST-of-the-BEST free web tools. Especially when there are literally THOUSANDS to choose from. That's why I've decided to compile a list of tools that should be included in every 21st Century School Leader's Toolbox.
If you're a tech savvy Principal or an Administrator that goes "ga-ga" for web tools, here's your chance to share your favorites. Join me and have some fun while learning about the best free educational web tools for school leaders.
I'll start us out. Here's my Top 10 List of Web Tools for Administrators:
