Rimmey debuts 'Edtech Toybox'
Rimmey published an interactive 'Edtech Toybox' Genially that catalogues classroom tools such as Edpuzzle and Brisk in a clickable graphic for teachers. The launch is presented as a practical, explorative resource for educators to find real tools quickly (x.com).
Dustin Rimmey has published an “Edtech Toybox” as a clickable Genially graphic that groups classroom tools teachers can open and explore from one visual hub. (genially.com) (view.genially.com) Rimmey is a high school government, economics, and speech and debate teacher in Topeka Public Schools in Kansas, and his Genially profile lists a dozen public creations. Forward Edge profiled him on May 17, 2024, as a district partner using classroom technology and microcredential badges. (view.genially.com) (forward-edge.net) The toybox format uses Genially’s core feature set: an image or slide with clickable hotspots, pop-up labels, links, and embedded media. Genially says users can turn static images into “click-to-explore visuals” and add indicators that show viewers where to click. (genially.com 1) (genially.com 2) The tools Rimmey highlighted include products teachers already use for lesson delivery and planning. Edpuzzle says its platform lets teachers build interactive video lessons and track student progress, while Brisk says its browser-based system works inside Google and Microsoft tools to generate materials and feedback. (edpuzzle.com) (briskteaching.com) Brisk has become one of the more visible teacher-facing artificial intelligence products in schools over the past year. Edutopia’s October 29, 2025 demo focused on Brisk’s sub plan generator, feedback tools, translation into more than 40 languages, and a writing playback feature for Google Docs. (edutopia.org) That context helps explain the appeal of a single “toybox” page. Teachers sorting through video platforms, browser extensions, quiz tools, and planning aides can scan one graphic instead of jumping across separate vendor sites and app stores. (genially.com) (briskteaching.com) (edpuzzle.com) Rimmey has been building public-facing interactive materials on Genially for at least the past two school years, including choice boards, review games, and classroom resources. The new toybox fits that pattern: packaging familiar tools in a format built for quick browsing rather than a long written list. (view.genially.com) (forward-edge.net) The result is less a new software product than a teacher-made directory built in a format educators already use with students. In a crowded school technology market, the pitch is simple: click around, see what each tool does, and decide what belongs in your own classroom kit. (genially.com 1) (genially.com 2)
