30 Jun Annotations, Expeditions, and Summer – The Month in Review

Good evening from Maine where a line of strong thunderstorms is a hopeful signal that our heatwave is about to break. June was the busiest month I’ve had in more than a year. Between end-of-school activities, hosting webinars, training for bike races, and trying to be the best dad I can be it felt like I never relaxed. This week, I’m doing that. I hope that you are also enjoying some rest after a long school year. 

In July I’m hosting the next section of the Practical Ed Tech Virtual Summer Camp. There is still time to register to join me for ten hours of live webinars with me during the week of July 12th. Register here. 

These were the month’s most popular posts:
1. Three Good Options for Annotating PDFs
2. 15 Updates Coming to Google Workspace for Education
3. How to Create Your Own Online Board Game
4. Science Research Papers Annotated With Teaching Resources
5. Four Important Padlet Updates to Note
6. Five Sources of Summer Math Activities for Elementary School Students
7. Expeditions Pro – A Replacement for Google’s VR Tour Creator
8. Icons8 – Easily Add Icons to Google Docs, Slides, and Sheets
9. Wick Editor – A Nice Tool for Creating Animations
10. How to Create Interactive Checklists in Google Docs
