Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path

Applied Digital Skills is a great resource from Google for Education that offers a wide variety of digitally-focused lessons to integrate in both in-class and distance instruction. Its library includes over 100 video-based lessons spanning various topics and skill sets. You can browse the lessons by audience (late elementary, middle school, high school, or adult learners), digital tool (e.g., Docs, Drawings, Slides, Sheets, Meet, Sites, etc), and by topic (e.g., Art, Digital Citizenship, Science, Math, Social Studies, Computer Science, etc.). 

Tech giant Amazon is making an attempt to profit from the growing number of teachers who sell lesson plans and other classroom-related materials to colleagues and parents online.

On Tuesday, the company announced a program called Amazon Ignite, which will let a select group of educators sell their online teaching resources via Amazon. The lesson plans and other resources will show up in regular Amazon search results, just like any other product in the vast digital marketplace. Amazon will take 30 percent of the sales of teacher-made resources, plus a transaction fee of 30 cents for items under $2.99.
