There’s a blog I love (completely non-education related) that does a feature called Something for the Weekend every week. It’s just a random collection of things the woman running the blog has come across on the web that she wants to share with her readers. I read so much on the internet and there are so many things I save and love, but they usually spend a long time sitting in Pocket waiting to become blogs and often never actually do. So I thought – something for the week – a collection of awesome education-related things I’ve come across on the web in the past week.
