first day of techmas

On the first day of Techmas, my Librarian gave to me...the Google Santa Tracker to learn, play, and explore with Santa's elves until the big day...not that we're counting or anything! :)

Google recently rolled out a slew of new games and features (25 to be exact) to its Santa's Village holiday page, including a location-based "Santa Tracker" that follows Santa as he travels around the world delivering presents on Christmas Eve. You'll also find new holiday commands for Google Assistant and brand new educational games.

One of my favorite new features is Holiday Traditions! Using Google Earth, students can explore holiday traditions around the globe.
​

Another fun activity is Code Boogie! With Code Boogie, you can release your inner dance moves and practice your block-based coding by coding Santa's elves to perform a dance routine! So fun!
