Free Technology for Teachers: Games, Teams, and Mud

Good morning from Maine where sunny weather has returned after a couple of days of sleet, snow, and rain. That sleet, snow, and rain is part of what makes this time of year Mud Season! How muddy? This week a school bus in our area got stuck in the mud while taking kids home from school. 

We’re going to enjoy the relatively nice weather today and play outside while doing some light yard work. I hope that you have something fun to do today too. Before doing that, I have this week’s list of the most popular posts. 

These were the week’s most popular posts:
1. Stop Printing the Internet
2. Plays.org – Educational Games Your Students Will Love to Play
3. New Whiteboard Features in Microsoft Teams and New Excel Formulas

4. Take Your Students on the American Ideals Virtual Field Trip Hosted by Discovery Education
5. Five Chrome Settings You Need to Know
6. Readlee – Know How Your Students Read Online Assignments
7. Kikori App – Social Emotional Learning Activities for All Ages

Thank you for your support!
