The Week in Review - The One Where I Get My Truck Stuck

Stuck in my own driveway
Good morning from the Free Technology for Teachers world headquarters in icy and snowy Woodstock, Maine. How icy is it? On Thursday I got my truck stuck in my own driveway while going out to get sand and salt. That incident put a damper on my plan to meet friends for skiing.

I hope that everyone is enjoying a little holiday vacation time. Judging by the record numbers of "likes" on the Free Technology for Teachers Facebook page, many of you are using some vacation time to explore resources to use in your classroom in 2014. And if you've ignored school-related things during vacation week, that's great too. We all need some downtime.
