Week In Review - Spending Time With Teachers - Free Technology For Teachers

Good morning from Maine where I’m relaxing for a day after a great week of working with teachers at Ed Tech Teacher workshops in Boston and at a Pearson OLE event in Phoenix. Both events were filled with enthusiastic teachers learning together and sharing ideas with each other. And I learned new things to that have me excited to share with all of you in the near future.
