## Introduction



In the era of virtual education and online teaching, educators around the globe are in front of a really wide range of tools they can use in their courses. It is critical, yet too hard, to always stay up-to-date and be aware of all those resources. Inspired by the [HN Tools of Trade, 2014 Edition](https://github.com/cjbarber/ToolsOfTheTrade), I decided to create a similar repository on Github with a list of tools and resources for every teacher out there.



If you are familiar with [Github](https://github.com/hkalant/EducationalToolsResources), go star it, fork it and add your own tools of trade. It's hosted on Github for a reason. Please [submit pull requests](https://github.com/hkalant/EducationalToolsResources/pulls).
