Good morning from Maine where the sun is shining, the grass is starting to turn green, and spring feels like it’s here to stay. It didn’t feel that way a few days ago when we had snow the day after a beautiful Patriots’ Day Monday during which I saw turtles sunning themselves for the first time this year. We hope to see some more turtles today when we go for a little hike. I hope that you have something fun to do this weekend too.
This week I didn’t host any new webinars, but I did work on developing some new materials that I’ll be sharing as part of professional development workshops and webinars this summer. If you’d like to have me run a workshop or webinar for your school this summer, please send me an email at richardbyrne (at) freetech4teachers.com
These were the week’s most popular posts:
1. Ten Fun Things for Students to Map
2. It’s Patriots’ Day! Resources for Learning About the Start of the American Revolution
3. Three Good Tools for Creating Infographics
4. The Best Adobe Spark Alternative
5. Expeditions Pro – Guide Students on Virtual Reality Tours
6. How to Mirror an Android Phone to a PC or Mac
7. How to Record a Google Earth Tour in Your Web Browser
I’m going back on the road this summer to host professional development workshops in-person! If you’d like to have me come to your school, please get in touch with me soon.
