Summer is almost here and while everyone enjoys some down time it is important to not shut down all the way. Our students need to continue to exercise their brains as well as their bodies. The below link has some great ideas on how we can help our kids to stay mentally active this summer.
Technology Activities for Summer Vacation
As teachers we too need to stay mentally active this summer. I know that I will be looking for new ways to engage my students in the Technology Lab as well as in the gym.

I have found tons of educational and organizational apps using this site.
