March 17, 2017
Here is a vey good collection of websites for high school students curated from our archives here in EdTech and mLearning in response to requests from some our readers. Categorizing resource websites by grade is not always accurate and some of these resources can be used with different age categories. However, we tried to come up with what we think are some of the most important platforms students in high school should know about. If you have other suggestions to add to the list, please share with us in our Facebook page.
