About MyedtechbuddyLoading...
Hi, I'm Daren. I'm a teacher and academic technologies specialist, a parent and a self-taught edtech enthusiast.Myedtechbuddy provides a series of courses about educational technology that people can work through at their own pace, on computer or mobile.
It all began as a Google Innovator Project as part of #VIA20 Google Innovator Academy. My original idea was to support teachers in becoming more confident in using technology but this grew to include all school staff and students too.

How myedtechbuddy worksLoading...
Work your way through the tutorials in this book at a pace that suits you. When you are ready, take the final skills assessment to gain your electronic Thriving Licence. You can dip in and out any time you like and you don't have to do things in order. None of the tutorials are longer than 8 minutes so they are great little time fillers.
Good luck!
