The Week in Review – A New Family Member

Good morning from the Free Technology for Teachers World Headquarters in Woodstock, Maine. It’s a beautiful late winter morning here. The sun is shining and the temperature is climbing. In other words, it’s a great day to play with the newest member of my family. Mason is a nine year old German Shepherd and Golden Retriever mix that I adopted last Sunday. He came from the same shelter as his new brother Max and my old dog Morrison who passed away in September. As you can see in the picture, Mason is settling in nicely. Soon Mason will have his own email address of mason@freetech4teachers.com.
