Keep, Books, and Canva - The Week in Review

19 de Agosto de 2023, 09:24

Good morning from Maine where it's overcast and drizzly, again. It has been that kind of summer. Nonetheless, it has been a good summer filled with fun things for me and my family (my miserable cold not withstanding). I hope that it has been a good summer (or winter) for you as well. 

We have less than two weeks until school starts again. We're making the most of it. This week I took one of my daughters for a one-on-one trip to Story Land. Next week, I'm doing the same for my other daughter. If still have a bit of vacation, I hope you make the most of it as well. 

These were the week's most popular posts:
1. 18 Google Keep Tutorials for Teachers
2. How to Create and Share Canva Templates
3. 18 Google Calendar Tutorials for Teachers
4. How to Use AI in Google Slides

Audio, Assessments, and Summer Cold - The Week in Review

12 de Agosto de 2023, 09:19

Good morning from Maine where the sun is rising on what should be a great summer day. Fortunately, I'm feeling much better than I did throughout the week as a struggled with a miserable cold that had me sleeping a lot more than normal and exercising a lot less than normal. I did get out for a few walks with my dogs. On one of those walks we stopped to help a salamander cross the road (to get to the other side, obviously). 

I hope that you had a great week. If you started school this week, I hope it went well. If you still have a bit more vacation, soak it up and enjoy it before the madness of the school year begins.

Canva, Pictures, and Micro:bits - The Month in Review

1 de Agosto de 2023, 00:46

Good evening from Maine were the sun has set on the month of July, 2023. This month I hosted a course on search strategies for teachers and students. If you missed it, I'll be offering it again soon. Look for an announcement in the next couple of days about that. 

Despite being one of the rainiest summers on record, my family and I still had a lot of fun outside. We rode our bikes, picked many pounds of wild Maine blueberries and blackberries, and made a few trips to Story Land. I hope that you also had some fun in July. 

As I do at the end of every month, I've identified the most popular posts of the last month. Take a look at the list below to see if there's anything interesting that you missed earlier in the month.
