23 Oct Forms, Earth, and STEM – The Week in Review

Good morning from Maine where it is still dark as I draft this blog post. In fact, it will be dark for at least another hour. The late sunrise is the only thing that I dislike about this time of year in Maine. Except for the big oak tree in my front yard, all of the leaves on the trees have changed color, the temperatures are a pleasant range of 50-60F, and there’s lots of fun to be had outside. We’ll be playing in the big leaf piles in our yard today. I hope that you do something fun today too. 

As I do every week, I’ve assembled a list of the most popular posts of the week. Take a look and see if there’s something interesting that you missed earlier in the week. 

These were the week’s most popular posts:
1. An Overview of Google Forms Quiz Settings
2. Samsung Solve for Tomorrow – A Great STEM Contest for Students!
3. Life on Minimum Wage – A Personal Economics Simulation Game
4. Ten Skills Students Can Learn from Google’s Applied Digital Skills Lessons
5. The United Nations Explained for Kids
6. Gary Paulsen Talks About Reading and Writing
7. I’m Feeling Lucky – A Google Earth Lesson
