Good morning from Greenwood, Maine USA where winter doesn’t want to quit. There’s some light snow falling this morning as I get ready to head out to a fly fishing conclave. Nothing tells me that it’s getting close to spring like spending the day with some friends tying flies and telling lies (actually, fishermen don’t lie, but we might stretch the truth about the size of a fish). Before fishing completely dominates my thoughts for the day, I’d like to share an update about the week at Free Technology for Teachers.

This week was the second week for two of my Practical Ed Tech webinars. I’ve received some really nice feedback about these so I will probably offer more in the future. This week I dove into a search for academic research about the use of iPads in education. I shared some of what I found and I will continue to do so as my research progresses.


Here are this week’s most popular posts:
1. 20 Chrome Apps & Extensions for Teachers and Students
2. Ideas for Managing Academic Blogs
3. Soo Meta – A Nice, New Way to Create Multimedia Presentations
4. Street View of Everest Base Camp – And Other Resources for Learning About Mount Everest
5. Picking the Best Platform for Your Classroom Blog
6. 5 Free Tools for Providing Remote Tech Help
7. Studies of iPad Use in Education
