Happy New Year!! Happy New Year 2020!
We hope you enjoy the websites we picked for the first month of this decade.

Digital Scavenger Hunt
A great way to start the New Year is with a Scavenger Hunt.
Try a Digital scavenger hunt created using Goose Chase EDU https://www.goosechase.com/edu/
For teachers of any curriculum, leaders of a school or department. Your students, faculty or parents can get to know a respective content, department or school. Create teams and watch the fun begin.

Random team maker created at this site: https://www.randomlists.com/team-generator
I did type the names single-spaced with no formatting, first, in Word, and then copied and pasted into the random team maker site. TIP: Make sure there's no space between names else the site picks that up as a name and creates too many groups.

Cyber Patriot’s Competition
