Here are my weekly Diigo posts for the week of June 19. Yesterday was officially the first full day of summer. I hope you are going to be able to have some well deserved down time during the summer months. Make sure to recharge your batteries and get mentally prepared for the 2014-15 school year. It will be here before you know it.
Make this week ridiculously awesome!
