18 Jul Docs, Slides, and Simulations – The Week in Review

Good evening from Maine where we had a fun day outside despite the clouds and rain. My mother came to visit and my daughters enjoyed showing her all of the fun things in our yard including wild raspberries and blueberries, our garden vegetables, and their little backyard clubhouse. Getting an ice cream treat was also a highlight of the visit. I hope that you also had a fun start to your weekend. 

This week I hosted the second session of the Practical Ed Tech Virtual Summer Camp. I’ll be hosting one more session in August. You can register for the August session right here. 

These were the week’s most popular posts:
1. 21 Google Docs Features You Should Know How to Use
2. Getting Started With Google Drive and Google Docs – Everything You Need to Know
3. Getting Started With Google Slides – The Basics and More
4. What Strava Taught Me About Using Digital Badges in School
5. Whimsical – A Good Tool for Collaborative Diagram Creation
6. Add PhET Simulations to Your PowerPoint Slides
7. 700 Space Math Problems
