The month of March brings the start of spring, Women's History Month, and our much-needed spring break week! So many good things packed into one month.

To help celebrate Women's History Month, we have curated some wonderful lessons and digital activities to explore with your students for all grade levels. Take a virtual field trip to the National Women's History Museum with Google Arts and Culture (website), use Adobe Express (access through FWISD App Portal) to let students create a video or webpage about a woman they admire, or explore the Discovery Education channel that is dedicated to Women in History. To access all these resources and more, click this link: Women's History Month Resources. We hope you enjoy exploring these wonderful resources with your students this month and all year long.

We also have a lot of great professional learning opportunities available this month. Our Wired Wednesdays webinar series continues this month with a variety of new topics. These one-hour Flex-eligible webinars began Jan 11th and will run through March 29th. We also have a wide variety of self-paced eCourses, and we will be offering face-to-face sessions on the remaining Spring 2023 Flex Days: March 27th and April 7th. For the complete schedule of all our available training, check out our EdTech Learning Hub.

⏰ Don't forget to spring forward on March 12, 2023, to start daylight savings time.
