Good morning from the FreeTech4Teachers.com world headquarters in sunny Woodstock, Maine where the thermometer currently reads -9F. In other words, it is a great morning to snowshoeing with my dogs. (They don’t wear snowshoes).

While I’m out snowshoeing my thoughts will surely wander to the next few weeks of conferences at which I will be presenting. This coming week I’ll be in North Carolina for #NCTIES15, the following week I’ll be in Sydney for the Future Schools Expo, and then I’ll be at ASCD’s annual conference in Houston. If you’re going to be at any of these events, please say hello.
