15 Edtech items to include in your back-to-school checklist for teachers

The anticipation of the new school year can cause anxiety for some teachers since we want everything to be up and running from the start. We all have a back-to-school checklist for teachers that we’ve perfected over the years. However, since the pandemic, our teaching habits have changed and technology has become an intrinsic part of our profession. We need to update lists accordingly and include our edtech tasks. 

In the past couple of years, I’ve noticed that our job has somewhat doubled when it comes to ensuring our classes run perfectly (at least we hope they do) both online and offline. Even though we may have fully returned to in-person teaching, we’re still using technology in our classes. For this reason, the following checklist will help you get ready for school and cover all the steps to take, online and offline, for a stress-free school year.
