A decade after launching an “Ed Tech Digest” meant to chip away at an ever-growing backlog of resources, this week’s roundup points educators to tools and games spanning best-seller reading lists, collaborative virtual art play, quote-making, educator tech gui
Ten years ago, in what began as a “somewhat futile” effort to reduce a backlog of resources the author wanted to share, an occasional “Ed Tech Digest” was born. It became a standing habit: picking three or four links each week—often tied to ed tech and sometimes to Web 2.0 apps.
This week’s choices continue that same pattern, with a focus on practical resources and classroom-friendly experiences. Books Office. a site that shows best-seller lists from many countries. is being added to an existing collection titled “The ‘All-Time’ Best Places To Find The Most Popular (& Useful) Resources For Educators.”.
Then there’s art. What Is Art?. is a game from Google built around popular art. designed to be played inside virtual rooms with up to eight players at a time. The digest notes that the player number could be expanded if people play as partners. turning the activity into something flexible rather than fixed.
For students and teachers who want something quick and visually polished, Free Quote Maker is described as doing exactly what its name promises: creating quotations for online sharing. It’s being folded into “The Best Tools For Creating Visually Attractive Quotations For Online Sharing.”
Two broader “what to try in 2026” pieces round out the digest’s tools section. “6 Ed Tech Tools to Try in 2026” comes from Cult of Pedagogy, while “10 Useful Tech Tools for Educators in 2026: A Practical Guide” is listed from The 74.
The final pick shifts away from apps and guides and toward viewing. WikiFlix shows all the old movies available through Wikipedia—positioned as a way to reach archived films without having to hunt across separate sites.
Taken together. the week’s links feel less like a single theme and more like a working toolbox: reference lists for reading and discovery. a multiplayer art game for engagement. a quote tool for communication. educator-focused technology roundups looking ahead to 2026. and a movie channel routed through Wikipedia.
