Wonder Tools: a newsletter for productive and creative tools 

Wonder Tools is a weekly newsletter by Jeremy Caplan, Director of Teaching & Learning at CUNY’s Newmark Graduate School of Journalism. Each edition highlights digital tools, websites, and apps designed to boost productivity and creativity. 

Caplan thoroughly tests each tool before sharing, and gives concise explanations of how a tool is useful and what to use it for, with examples, screenshots and use-cases, as in these recent posts.

Wonder Tools has over 49,000 subscribers and offers a paid version with perks like live demos, exclusive templates, and early access to new tools.
