TODAY Google announced a BUNCH of great new updates!
This year I'm especially impressed and excited by how many of these updates are FREE. Google is also expanding access to features that used to be premium (i.e. Google Vids) to EVERYONE!

Is anyone attending #MACUL next week?
My first time was in 2005 as a student. My EdTech professor invited us to attend and said he would take anyone who came out to dinner. I was a poor college student, so this was a good deal!
I've been attending ever since!

One of the more useful premium features I am using is "custom building blocks" which make it easy to insert templates into @googledocs.bsky.social
Today I'm planning a new YouTube video, so I'm inserting my video planning template.

This morning I'm setting up our annual "Christmas Breakout" activity: www.chrmbook.com/christmas-br...
At this point this has become an essential family tradition.
The process of "breaking out" gives mom and dad time to get up, get ready and start breakfast while the kids are occupied.
