Engineering, Games, and Puns – The Week in Review

Good morning from Maine where it’s a brisk 24F while I wait for the sun to rise. After the sun rises and it warms up a bit, I’m going on my favorite bike route for one last time before cold and snow make it unpleasant, if not impossible, to ride again until spring. If you’re curious, I’ll be pedaling over Height of Land in Roxbury, Maine then meeting my family at my kids’ favorite playground. It’s not quite as exciting as last weekend’s trick o’ treating, but it will be fun. I hope that you also have something fun planned for your weekend. 

As I do every weekend, I have put together a list of the most-visited posts of the week. Take a look and see if there’s something interesting that you missed during the week. 

These were the week’s most popular posts:
1. A Cute Series of Videos About Engineeering
2. TinyTap – Create Your Own Educational Games in Your Browser
3. It’s That Time Again…
4. A Punny Explanation of Savings Bonds
5. Certify’em – Send Personalized Certificates via Google Forms
6. Reading Progress + ReadWorks in Microsoft Teams = Awesome!
7. How to Use Google Books
