Tool of the Week- Google My Maps
Tip of the Week- Twitter
Follow Friday

Think about how important that is! Pretty much anything you want to know is now at your fingertips with resources available online, but all of that information is only useful if you know how to access it. Again, this is all higher level Blooms stuff. Evaluate, synthesise, apply.
