From Wikipedia:

 

Although seemingly unremarkable in appearance, the utility belt is one of Batman's most important tools in fighting crime. Composed of a kevlar strap and metal buckle, the utility belt houses ten cylinder cartridges, which vertically clip onto the outside of the belt. The buckle itself contains a miniature camera and two-way radio. A secondary compartment behind the length of the belt houses Batman's supply of collapsible batarangs.
 

We all have an assortment of tools in our edtech utility belt that we use to get us out of sticky situations, get a job done quickly, and inject innovation into our designs.  Just like the Justice League, let's collaborate and share our favorite tools in our utility belt.
