Educational Duct Tape: An EdTech Integration Mindset 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.
