What a week! On Monday, Samantha Morra gave a presentation at the Chromebooks and Common Core Symposium on “Extensions and Add-ons: Making Google Work for You.” Greg Kulowiec led custom workshops in Lawrence and Mendon, Massachusetts plus Buffalo, New York. And, we wrapped up a great week of Summer Workshops in Cambridge with 2 new sessions from Beth Holland and Douglas Kiang as well as a returning favorite from Tom Daccord.
