Welcome back!  And of course, happy Friday-eve!  Except for those readers in Korea, the Philippines, etc. in which case, Happy Friday morning!  In case you missed our podcast last night, you can check it out here.  We covered digital yearbooks, programming with Scratch, and a whole lot more! Today's Roundup begins at EdTech Magazine with a new post from Ricky Ribeiro entitled "Collaboration Can Transform Education. We Just Need to Commit To it."  It's a great post about getting teachers connected and sharing ideas!
