Essentially, any resource that helps a teacher convey information, engage students, assess learning, or foster a positive learning environment can be considered a teaching tool. The effectiveness of a teaching tool depends heavily on its appropriateness for the learning objective, the age and learning style of the students, and the skill of the teacher in using it.
