Good morning from Maine where it is going to be another great weekend for playing in the snow. One of my dogs is doing that as I write this. He’s happiest when it’s cold and snowy. Just take a look at the picture in this post, that’s one happy dog! I hope that wherever you are this weekend that you have time for something fun that makes you as happy as my dog is when he’s rolling in snow.
This week I hosted or co-hosted a couple of webinars. If you missed the Two Ed Tech Guys Take Questions webinar that I do with Rushton Hurley, you can watch it here. The content of the webinar about Google Earth that I hosted on Tuesday is now available as a self-paced course right here.
These were the week’s most popular posts:
1. Annotations, Games, and Audio – The Month in Review
2. Two Search Refinement Tips That Helped My Students Today
3. How to Make Sure Students Aren’t Unsupervised in Google Meet Video Calls
