The 30 best tools of 2017

Last updated on 12 May 2026

The end of the year is approaching and with it the period of traditional retrospectives and other best of. I also indulged this little game to offer you a list of the best CTBT tools of 2017.

The Tice Tools

A small selection ‘game’ that ultimately took me a considerable amount of time. On this website I published in one year articles on more than 150 tools for classroom and vocational training. I have decided to select only 30 for this small end-of-year list.

The choice was not simple. There are no real objective criteria, apart from the fact that they are tools or services that have surprised or interested me and made ̂r seem useful to me in a pedagogical approach. I have also taken your reactions into account. Most of the tools on the list have seen the articles dedicated to them beat audience records every time.

The idea came to me to make from this list a book to download. It is free and can be viewed on your computer, tablet or e-reader. 120 pages in which you will find all the articles that I have been able to devote this year to these tools with links that will allow you to visit them and why not adopt them.
