Tools of a Tech-Savvy Professor

When I accepted my professor gig two years ago, I took a cautious approach to introducing new tech in the classroom. As a first-time professor, I had plenty to learn already—and not that much time to do it. (ASU threw three classes at me—a first-time professor. Yeah, there was a learning curve.)

In keeping with Agile methods, though, over time I have noodled with new tools, especially where I found Blackboard to be deficient. In this post, I'll explain some of the tools that I routinely use and how I have become a tech-savvy professor.

Slack

On a personal level, I'm a really big fan of this tool—so much so that my laptop sports a Slack sticker. For more on this, see my post here.
