In today’s roundup, a series of post- Arapahoe shooting text messages between parent and child are going viral, Mashable’s cool technology 2013, and the best WordPress tutorial for Yoast, the SEO superpower.
Today’s news is short because I’m long on grading. I was at school yesterday grading efolios and portfolios long past when other living creatures above 5 feet had gone home.
I love the funny conversations on Twitter that happen like this awesome tweet from Heather Woodland…
@coolcatteacher You will make it. It’s the storm before the calm 🙂

Yes, for many of us, it is the storm before the calm. This is how I feel about the end of the semester.
Semesters never really “wind down” – it is always more like a Thelma and Louise. Just survive the crash.
As I count this year’s gifts, you’re among them. Thank you for adding me to your PLN.
