10 Dec Canva, Search, and Goodbye – The Week in Review

Good morning from Maine where it’s a cold and breezy December morning. It was a busy and sad week here at the Free Technology for Teachers world headquarters (AKA, my house). This week I hosted or co-hosted a couple of webinars including the last live episode of Two Ed Tech Guys Take Questions and Share Cool Stuff. And on Wednesday morning, we said goodbye to our loyal dog, Mason. 

Mason was a great dog that we adopted when he was already nine years old. He was by the side of our daughters for all of their lives. Until he got too weak to climb the stairs on his own, every evening he would check my daughters’ bedrooms before he settled down for the evening. As we said a few times this week, there were times when it seemed like he was the only one not going crazy in our house in the days of having two babies who didn’t sleep through the night. We miss him. 

And now for what you expected on Saturday morning, here’s the list of this week’s most popular posts:

1. 50 Canva Tutorials for Teachers
2. A Few New Search Tools from Google
3. Ten Good Tools for Making Multimedia Timelines
4. Biographies in Infographic Form
5. A Handful of Resources for Computer Science Education Week
6. How to Correctly Use Google Images to Find Pictures for Your Projects
7. Interactive Math & Science Simulations for Online and Offline Use
