Good morning from snowy Woodstock, Maine where we’ve had two snow storms in the last five days and school was closed was for three days. My dogs and I love to play in the snow so we’re happy whenever it snows. In fact, as soon as this post is finished we’ll be romping around in the snow. I hope that you have something fun planned for the weekend too.

Before I jump into this week’s list of the most popular posts I want to remind you about the Practical Ed Tech weekly newsletter. I started the Practical Ed Tech weekly newsletter at about this time last year.
