Public Domain, Goals, and Fitness - The Week in Review

Good morning from the Free Technology for Teachers world headquarters in chilly, snowy Maine. I hope that everyone had a great first week of 2019. What's your New Year's resolution? One of mine is to improve my fitness. To that end I created a new blog to build some public accountability for my resolution. If you have a similar New Year's resolution, feel free to join into this Flipgrid that I created for educators who want help each other with their fitness goals.
