The Week in Review – Halloween Edition

Good morning from Maine where it’s so cold you’d think it was the last day of December not the last day of October. It’s Halloween and my daughters are excited even though trick o’ treating is going to be severely curtailed this year. They’re excited to wear the costumes that they’ve been talking about for months! I hope that you have something on your weekend schedule that gets you as excited as my daughters are for Halloween. 

As I do at this time every week, I’ve compiled a list of the week’s most popular posts. Take a look and see if there’s anything interesting that you missed during the week. 

These were the week’s most popular posts:

1. 13 Google Forms Tutorials for Beginners and Experienced Users
2. Tools for Scheduling Parent-Teacher Conferences and Other Meetings
3. Two Ways to Create Your Own Online Memory Games
4. Five Screencasting Tools Compared and Ranked – Fall 2020
5. How to Simultaneously Caption and Translate Presentations
6. Five Last Minute Resources for Teaching About the Electoral College
7. Three Ideas for Stop Motion Video Projects to Make With Cloud Stop Motion
