ICT Tools in Education

Laatste update: 18-11-2019
Please note: I do not accept paid promotions, neither do I feature tools that require payment for use.

On this page you will find all the ICT tools for education I'm aware of.  Every categorised tool comes with a short description (provided by the creators of the tool) and a link (you can click on the name). Anything to add, any comments or questions? Please let me know! In need of some more explanation? Take a look at my blog to see if your desired tool is already there! If not, please let me know and I'll try to write something on it as soon as I can.
