Weekly Resources – Connected Educator Month Continues

We had a great week here at EdTechTeacher. Our team led workshops on both coasts! We also had our second Connected Educator Month webinar, with more to come in the next few weeks. The big news, though, is that Early Bird Registration for iPad Summit Boston closes on October 13th at 8:00pm EST. It appears as though we will have another sold out event, so please register soon!
