At the end of every month I like to take a look back at the most popular posts of the previous thirty days. I’m a couple of days late this time.
I make these lists to get some insights into what readers want to see more or less of. I also do this as a way to provide you with a quick way to catch up on some highlights of the last month in the field of educational technology.
These were the most popular posts in August:
1. Google is Adding an Originality Checker to Google Classroom
