About Richard Byrne:
Currently, I am a law student at The Law College of Vermont. Prior to August 2023, I spent eight years as a consultant helping teachers all over the world develop interesting ways to use technology in their classrooms. And prior to that I taught high school social studies for nearly a decade. I also became a Google Certified Teacher in 2009.
On a daily basis Free Technology for Teachers reaches a subscriber base of more than 60,000 educators. Now that I’m a law student, TeacherMade’s CEO Laura Bresko has taken over the mission of keeping these FT4T educators informed of the latest for their classrooms.
The world has changed quite a bit since FT4T was started. Nowadays, the freemium model is offered by most tools. This blog now includes both free and freemium technology for your classroom, as well as the occasional issue that may impact your and/or your students, e.g. AI policies.
