A lighthouse I photographed during a bike ride this week.

Good morning from Maine where the sun is shining and the air feels exceptionally fresh. My week-in-review post usually mentions an outdoor activity like cycling, hiking, or skiing. This morning it just feels right to sit on my deck, drink coffee, and read a book (Wilderness Warrior – a biography of Theodore Roosevelt). So that’s what I’m doing. I hope that your weekend is off to an equally enjoyable start.

This week I wrapped up the last session of my online course Blogs & Social Media for Teachers & School Leaders. That five week course carried a graduate credit option. A number of people asked if I would offer it again. Due to the time constraints of the new school year starting soon, I decided to offer a condensed version of that course. Classroom Blog Jumpstart will be a three night event (August 17, 18, 19) in which I’ll cover everything you need to know to create an awesome classroom blog. Learn more about it here.
