Tech for teachers, from a teacher

Technology tools to make teaching easier.

TekForTeachers is where those tools live — classroom tech tutorials on YouTube, free apps you can use today, and curriculum resources built for real Alberta classrooms.

Classroom workflows

Practical tutorials for Google Classroom, Workspace, Edsby, and the tech you actually have to use — tested in a real Alberta classroom first.

Teacher-built tools

Apps built by a teacher, for teachers — from chord handouts for music class to plain-text planning that publishes straight to Google Classroom.

What I'm building

TailorEd

Semester planning with pace tracking, differentiated handout drafting, one-click worksheets and rubrics, and an exit-ticket feedback loop. It runs entirely on your own machine — your students' data never leaves your computer, not even to me. I'm packaging it as a download, and it's the next thing I expect to ship.

Instructor

I keep my whole course as plain markdown files and publish a week of assignments straight to Google Classroom in one click, without needing a Cloud project on a locked-down school domain. It works every day in my own classes; I'm working out what a version other teachers could install looks like.

Alberta curriculum units

Complete Grade 7 Social Studies units — lessons, worksheets, slides and assessments, aligned to the June 2025 curriculum. Nothing is for sale yet, on purpose: the source material is going through rights clearance, and the lessons touching Indigenous history are in review with Indigenous educators before anything is published.

No dates, because I teach full-time and I'd rather not promise one I'll miss. The email list is how you'll hear first.

Get new tools & resources first

One short email when something new ships — a tool, a template pack, or a curriculum unit. No spam, ever.

The list isn't open yet — I'd rather say so than collect addresses I can't send to. Subscribe on YouTube in the meantime and you'll see everything as it ships.
