TECH TIP: Zamzar File Conversion
This tip came about when Kristi Farina had a .wps file she needed to convert to a .doc file. Zamzar is a free online file converter. You upload the file you need converted, put in what format you want it converted to, and your email. The converted file is then emailed to you within minutes. This is very helpful when students give you things like .pages or .key files that you can't open on your school laptop.
BOOK TIP: Serial Podcast
OK, so not really a book, and I'm late to the game on this one, but I just recently finished the podcast of Serial. I was intrigued to listen to it after reading about a high school that selected the podcast as their school wide summer "read". Serial is a weekly podcast, where the host follows one true story over the course of a series. It is a great mix of investigative journalism and story telling. All the hallmarks of a great non-fiction read. Season One looks at the case of Adnan Syed and whether or not he was wrongfully jailed for murder. Highly recommend this one for your summer "listen".
