Here I've listed some of my favorite educational technology "tools of the trade." I can't claim to be an expert in every one, but I'm knowledgeable enough to figure out what to use and what to do when I need to do it! Admittedly, my list includes a few dated applications which can no longer be considered "cutting edge" (out vogue, perhaps?) by today's standards, but it's still fun to include them for historical context, right?!?

I also maintain an active record of helpful code snippets and extensible applications (open-source and commercial) that have proved invaluable to me over and over (and over!!) again. To see them, follow the "Helpful Scripts & Software" link below...
