Good evening from Scottsbluff, Nebraska where I’m visiting my friends Beth and Kris Still. Some of you may remember Beth as the person who started the NECC/ ISTE Newbie Project back in 2009. In the four and half years since then Beth, Kris, and I have become good friends. It’s amazing what a few Tweets can do (Tweeting is where the Newbie Project started).

Wherever you are this weekend, I hope you’re doing something fun and relaxing. And if your weekend plans include catching up on things in the field of educational technology, the Free Technology for Teachers week in review is a good place to start.

Here are this week’s most popular posts:
1. Google Unveils Google Play for Education
2. Ten Online Activities for Geography Awareness Week
3. Canva – Create Beautiful Slides, Posters, and Infographics
4. Create a Wall of Thanks on Padlet
