The EdTech Connection

Next week is Spring Break and many of us will be traveling (myself included!). But whether you're traveling or enjoying a staycation, here's a list of fun holidays you can celebrate no matter where you are!

Monday, April 4: National School Librarian Day - send your school librarian a little extra love with a quick note of thanks (they certainly deserve it)!

Tuesday, April 5: Gold Star Spouses Day - whether you are married or not, you probably know someone who you admire as a spouse, so let them know it!

Wednesday, April 6: National Walking Day - hopefully the weather will cooperate long enough for you to get out and walk for just 30 minutes sometime throughout the day.

Thursday, April 7: National No Housework Day - a day that was MADE for Spring Break!

Friday, April 8: National Empanada Day - Thursday was also National Burrito and National "drink made with hops for those 21 and up" Day. I'm sensing a theme!

If you've ever made something in a Google Doc that you knew was never going to be printed and was always going to be viewed online, you'll know the frustration of being confined to tradtional 8.5 x 11 with 1" margins. You end up with images way too far down because there isn't room directly below the paragraph and tables that just don't fit because they are too wide.

If you feel my pain, you have a solution! Go to File > Page Setup and select "Pageless." Your viewers can even select a width of narrow (great for phones), medium (tablets), or wide (computers).

Ever found the PERFECT YouTube video but you really just want a random 5 or 10 seconds? YouTube now has an internal "clipping" feature, located just below the video, right next to the Share button. While it's not available on all videos (I haven't found out why yet), if you see it on a video you like, it's SUPER easy to use and then share your clip. Check out the clip I made that is just oh-so-appropriate for this week or find more information in this video from Richard Byrne.
