Picture Books, Story Maps, and Emojis – The Week in Review

Good morning from Maine where I’m home after a few days in Detroit for the MACUL Conference. It was great to meet many of you who have been following this little blog of mine for years. Getting to meet teachers all over the world is one of the best things to come from writing this blog for last 11+ years. Thank you!

The snow just keeps falling here in Maine even though the calendar says that it’s spring. Eventually, the snow will stop and the warm weather will arrive and then it will be time for the Practical Ed Tech Summer Camp. The early registration discount is available until the end of March.

These were the week’s most popular posts:
1. Where On Google Earth is Carmen Sandiego? – A Great Geography Game
2. 5 Free Tools for Creating Online Picture Books
3. Are You Being Phished? – A Lesson from Google
4. A New Way to Add Images to Google Sheets
5. How to Create a Map-based Story With StoryMap JS
6. How to Add Emojis to Word Documents – And How to Use Them in a Lesson
7. 5 Ways to Tell Stories With Maps

The Practical Ed Tech Summer Camp is happening on July 15th and 16th. I’ve secured a beautiful location for it that offers lots of activities for the whole family within walking distance. Register in March and save $50! Registration is now open here.
