History, Book Reports, and the Great Outdoors – The Week in Review

Good morning from Maine where a light drizzle is providing a damp start to the weekend. Despite the weather we’ll still have fun at our Tinkergarten class this morning because it’s always fun to explore nature. I hope that you also have something fun planned for your weekend. 

This week I announced that I will be hosting Teaching History With Technology in June. That proved to be the most popular post I wrote all week. If you teach history, I hope you’ll join me in the course

These were the week’s most popular posts:

1. Teaching History With Technology – Online Course Starting in June
2. Videos for Teaching and Learning About Memorial Day
3. The Homestead Act and a Research Prompt
4. Five Google Earth Activities to Get Kids Interested in the Outdoors
5. New Google Docs Features You Might Have Missed
6. Classroom Posters – The Rules of Civil Conversation
7. Alternatives to Book Reports – A Post Inspired By My Daughter
