Welcome back to the Roundup!  First, I'd like to wish all the moms out there (mine especially!) a very happy mother's day! Second, let's start this week's Roundup with Michele Molnar at Education Week who has a new report on "Google's 'Classroom' Learning Management System."  The application will allow teachers to easily collect assignments, provide feedback, make announcements, and more! Check it out!

Jordan Shapiro at Mind/Shift has a new article entitled, "Math, Science, History: Games Break Boundaries Between Subjects."  In this post (which is part 3 of  Mind/Shift's Guide to Games & Learning) Shapiro discusses how teachers can use game-based lessons to embrace holistic learning and bring various content areas together, helping students to see beyond traditional subject-area boundaries.

Next up, Katie Lepi at Edudemic has an excellent infographic and analysis on "Keeping Students Safe Online."

If you're a Twitter fan like myself, you've probably seen an occasional (or often) twitter Q&A discussion taking place. Maybe you've even wondered how you could launch your own Q&A session about a topic that you are interested in.  If that's the case, check out Lisa Nielsen's excellent new post on "How to Host a Q&A Twitter Chat."
