It's mid summer and just about the time when all of those school supplies sales start kicking in. I know I still get excited about new pens and stickers, but I also try to start planning leisurely (if that is possible) for the new school year. So I thought our mid-summer check in would be something you can explore a bit this summer and then share with your students in the fall. We are talking about ways to give back to others in your community and through charities. So let's grab a sand shovel and dig in! 🏖View the post: https://smartinwi.com/summer-activities-for-giving-backTech Discussed in This Episode- DoSomething.org- Little Free Library- Charity Miles- FreeRice.com Find all of the tools we've discussed in the EdTech Directory: https://smartinwi.com/edtech-directory/Get in touch: https://smartinwi.comhttps://www.twitter.com/smartinwihttps://www.facebook.com/smartinwitechtoolsforteacherpodcast@gmail.com©2021 Snoring Dog Media, LLC.
