The Week in Review - Transitions - Free Technology For Teachers

Good morning from Maine where the sun is shining and the forecast calls for temperatures above 60f for the first time this year. One of the great things about Maine in the spring is that I can ski, bike, garden, and walk my dogs all in the same day without having to wear a heavy jacket. It’s the end of the ski season here and we’re going to close out the season with a tailgate party at the mountain. I hope that you too make time for something fun this weekend.

This week the PracticalEdTech.com newsletter welcomed the 10,000th subscriber! That newsletter is sent out only once per week on Sunday evening.
