I hope that everyone had an enjoyable weekend. I learned lots of new things at our teacher's conference last week that I should be able to implement already this week. One of the new things on my list is exploring new Google Apps and Extensions that can aid in learning.

I look forward to sharing a few of those items soon!

We will have a NEW typing program starting tomorrow. This program will give me a better handle on how the students are progressing in their typing. I was having issues with the other program so I've decided to make a switch. It shouldn't affect the students too much!
