Happy Friday Everyone!
This has been quite a week.  Snow, shovel the snow, more snow, more shoveling, repeat. I’m so ready for spring break!  Are you going anywhere?
Poster My Wall is a site I looked into for a colleague who was searching for a site similar to Glogster. Unfortunately, Glogster costs money. Luckily, Poster My Wall does not.
