As an edtech blogger, Brad Flickinger has the opportunity to review several products and services each year. In his recent blog post, Flickinger shares why he likes Atomic Learning—and you should too.

I have had an Atomic Learning account for the past five years and it has saved my edtech-bacon a few more times than I would like to admit. If fact, I couldn’t really imagine being able to do my job effectively or efficiently without it. I have never found anything that compares to it – in price or product...In the end we are all just looking for better ways to get the job of teaching done, for me Atomic Learning delivers.

Colorado tech teacher, Brad Flickinger, blogged about what he learned when he discovered Atomic Learning Spotlight training topics when he logged into Atomic Learning recently.

"The first thing to impress me were the Goals — they are broken down into three quick-read bullet points of Identify, Reflect and Plan. I could quickly review them and see if this was the right course for me. It was, so I continued."

Brad Flickinger has been an elementary, middle, and high school teacher, as well as the director of technology which gives him a perspective of teaching all ages of students and what it is like at both the classroom and district levels. Working with Atomic Learning as his partner, in this video he discusses the importance of assessing 21st century skills to prepare students for the future.

What tech lessons have you tried that have failed miserably? Sometimes a small spark of inspiration can go a long way. A slight tweak in your method could make all the difference in the lesson's success.

Brad Flickinger shares his frustration and how he found guidance from Atomic Learning while teaching a 5th grade lesson on blogging in his recent post entitled “My Student Blogging Needs a Makeover”.  “…tech projects rarely work the first time you try them,” Flickinger said. “DO NOT GIVE UP. Fix what is wrong and try again.” Read more about Flickinger's experience here.
