Backchannels, Sounds, and Thanksgiving – The Week in Review

Good morning from snowy Maine. I hope that all of you who celebrated Thanksgiving this week had a wonderful holiday with family and friends. Based on the number of “out of office” emails I received this week, a fair number of you were off all week.

Earlier this week I hosted the first night of the winter session of Teaching History With Technology. If you’re looking for other professional development opportunities I’m holding a Black Friday/ Cyber Monday sale on my six most popular webinars of 2018.

These were the week’s most popular posts:
1. Change Coming to Your Google Account’s Sign-in Screen
2. Fiction vs. Non-fiction – A Canva Infographic
3. An Interactive Timeline of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade
4. 5 Free Thanksgiving Lesson Plans You Can Use This Week
5. How to Create a Backchannel on Padlet
6. Bensound – Free Music for Video Projects
7. How to Make a QR Code for Just About Anything
