Below are two tools that I found useful from the Cult of Pedagogy blog.
EduTips are short segments of the Cult of Pedagogy podcast. These are 4-7 minute podcast tips ranging from educator self care to student centered tips for the classroom. If you don't have time to listen to full hour long podcast episodes, this is a great place to start!

Eric Curts, developer of Control Alt Achieve, has been in education for over 30 years. He is a Google for Education trainer and innovator and gives trainings and consultations to schools and organizations all over the country.
Control Alt Achieve is a website with a blog, webinars and weekly newsletters and videos. The purpose of his website and any trainings he does is to inform educators on hands on and engaging tools. He shares the latest educational technology resources and news to inform teachers of the newest resources. I think that educators will find this helpful because educational tools are always changing, so this would be a great place to go for news and updates. He posts often and sends out a weekly newsletter for anyone who joins his email list. This would be a great way to get a weekly update without having to come to the blog each week.

This is a full video training for using Google Gemini as an educator. Google Gemini is a chatbot with free unlimited use. This is a great resource with a variety of possible uses.
