He is a Google Certified Teacher who also creates free PDF manuals for teachers to keep as ready reference guides for the likes of Google Earth, or on the best technology tools to use in the classroom. Again, his focus is on free, web-based resources, but he finds and posts resources that are often unique or hard to find anywhere else, and for that reason alone, you should see what he has to offer at http://www.freetech4teachers.com.
