We were laughing and smiling the whole time. A game that highjacks the common mechanic of explosions into bursts of pure joy. Kaboom!]]> 2020-04-09 06:43:01 UTC https://padlet.com/usmenglish/4gzyzbbqr3a6a5x6/wish/499947513 usmenglish https://padlet.com/usmenglish/4gzyzbbqr3a6a5x6/wish/499954488 Has anyone else enjoyed studying at home with their pets? I've always wanted to bring my dog while I teach, and now I can. He just sits under my chair as I teach online.

Many of you have already heard me talk about the Hattiesburg Public Library, but for those of you who have not, the library has many digital resources available to you for free! If you don't have a library card yet or have not set up your online accounts, you can e-mail them, and they will help set you up. Their FAQ page is here! If you are not living in the Hattiesburg/Petal area, check your local library's page to see what they offer!

Also, I am pretty sure that Scribd is still offering a 30 day free trial to first time subscribers, no credit card required. They have a large library of e-books and audiobooks, including some pretty new releases. The blog post explaining the offer and with the link is here!]]> 2020-04-09 18:36:46 UTC https://padlet.com/usmenglish/4gzyzbbqr3a6a5x6/wish/501107166 https://padlet.com/usmenglish/4gzyzbbqr3a6a5x6/wish/503192178 Game Studies Group
