G Suite Audio, Accessibility, and Timelines – The Week in Review

Good morning from Maine where we play outside even if it’s cold and snowy. Sometimes that means doing traditional snow activities like skiing and sledding while other times it just means knocking some snow off the swings and having fun in our snowsuits. Whether the weather is hot or cold where you are, I hope that you also have some time for fun in the fresh air this weekend. 

The inauguration of President Biden and Vice President Harris was the story of the week. Larry Ferlazzo and Terri Eichholz each compiled excellent collections of resources about the inauguration and Amanda Gorman’s poem. You can find Larry’s collection here and Terri’s collection here. On a related note, Larry is always incredibly fast at compiling resources for events in the news. His blog is where I go for resources about events in the news.
