Tip of the Week: Google goodies, tech tools, and various video games

I’m spending the day hanging out with the great folks at Augusta Middle. Go Bluejays!

Our time together is focused on sharing tech ideas and exploring tools. So I figured, might as well share the list of things we’re playing with today.

There’s a ton of stuff – it’s a show and tell day so we’ll demo than play than create than reflect. Pick and choose. Explore a tool at a time.

Enjoy!
