Good morning from gray and rainy Maine. It appears that we’re into the “April showers” portion of the “April showers bring May flowers” adage. On the upside, this crummy weather has made it feel a little easier to stay inside and work. I have some new projects in the works that I think you’re going to like. The folks in my Thursday evening class have already had a preview of one of those projects.

While summer might feel far away, it’s not too early to think about your summer professional development needs. I’m hosting two Practical Ed Tech Summer Camps this year. Additionally, I’ll be offering online courses in May, June, July, and August. Registration for those courses will open on Monday.
