Hey there!
You’ve just stumbled upon your ultimate playground of fresh classroom tech tools like interactive whiteboards, educational apps, and digital learning platforms.
Each tool in this EdTech Toolbox here is handpicked with love and understanding for all the busy teaching superheroes, ensuring that your unique needs are met. I’ve put my heart into selecting these tools, knowing that they will make a difference in your teaching journey.
Whether you’re gearing up for your next lesson, eager to boost communication skills, or just itching to see what tech and AI can bring to the table for you and your students, this site is meticulously crafted with your needs in mind!
With so many tools out there, it's tough for teachers to know which ones are actually saving time and reducing stress. That’s why I created this hub to cut through the noise and give you what works.
Hi, I’m Liezl van Wyk.
I am a proudly South African educator currently teaching in Ningbo, China. I’ve been teaching for over 14+ years across South Africa and Asia, working with young learners, designing curricula, and implementing digital learning solutions.
I created Tech Toolbox for Teachers to make AI feel less like science fiction and more like your teaching assistant. I’m passionate about helping educators save time, reduce stress, and unlock their creativity using simple, innovative tech tools.
