Airplanes, Screens, and Search – The Week in Review

Good morning from Maine where the sun is shining and cool breeze is blowing while I drink my morning coffee. It was a long week and I’m going to savor one of the last weekends of the summer by spending today exploring a little beach with my little family. I hope that you also have a coffee in your favorite mug instead of travel mug, go for a walk in the woods, or do something equally fun and relaxing this weekend. 

These were the week’s most popular posts:
1. Five Good Resources for Learning About Airplanes and Airlines

2. How to Quickly Broadcast Your Screen to Your Students’ Screens
3. Five Interesting Ways to Use Screencastify in Your Classroom

4. Google Search Tools Students Often Overlook

5. Lessons on Compound Interest, Rent, and Mittens

6. PrepFactory’s New Online Algebra Program Features 100 Interactive Lessons

7. Blackbird Provides a Great Environment for Teaching Coding
