With Common Core now in full swing and taking center stage it would be easy to set aside the magic and fun that teaching and learning can bring. Luckily with great sites like Thinkfinity's Wonderopolis you don't have to. This free site can bring out the natural wonder of the every day by offering brief excursions from everything from animals and architecture to volcanoes and woodworking all high interest in an easy to digest format. Users can search the site for CCSS aligned wonders or explore the "Wonder of the Day".
I wonder what I'll explore next...

Chrome- Version 38+, finding an update
For those who are much too busy to worry about tech but still pay attention to having the newest version of Chrome, version 38 is here. There are many improvements but the following is the one i found first. To keep my Chromebook humming along as it should I have been periodically checking for Chrome updates from the setting bars (I call them the "stack of pancakes") > settings>help and there it was. After updating to 38+ I couldn't find it, anywhere. Some searching showed me that it was there but in a slightly different place. Below is an illustration to explain where it was "hiding" all along.

Time for a new timer.
