In the Fall of 2019, I started sending out "Tech Tuesday" technology tips emails to the staff at my school. I included things that might help them in their classroom, both face2face and digitally. I didn't really have a plan in regard to the emails, I just thought it was a good idea at the time. Now, here we are two years later, I've sent a "Tech Tuesday" every week to a growing email list. I've been able to help teachers all over our great nation. Now, I've composed many of those emails into this collection of "Tech Tips w/ Mr. Reece." I hope that you can find something here that helps you in your classroom.
