If you’re about to head off to holiday break, congratulations! You’ve made it! You deserve to kick back, play with friends and family, and recover from the hectic start of the school year. But after you’ve had your hot cocoa, opened up all your presents, and realize school is resuming soon … what then?

Don’t let that wave of panic hit you like it did last year. Get prepared for the new year by enrolling in half a dozen edtech courses from Skills Genius. It’s an online learning platform the editors of Daily Genius are developing. We want you to help us kick the tires of some of our early courses and are making all 6 edtech courses totally FREE for the month of December.

How To Get The 6 Free EdTech Courses

You don’t need any special coupon code or secret link. Just head over to the Skills Genius course catalog and enroll in as many of the courses as you like. Easy as that. You just need to create a free account so you can manage your courses, continue your learning on a mobile device, etc. It’s all completely free.

Normally these courses range from $9 to $29 each so this is a pretty solid deal, if I don’t say so myself. As the guy who made a few of the courses, I hope you leave some feedback and request a course that you’d like to see me make or even start teaching a course. I’m always looking for new sources of inspiration. What better way than my PLN?
