Free Subscription Extended! 
 
Great news! Continue to use SCAN for free until June 30, 2009! Eventually we will need to underwrite our future development costs by offering nominally-priced subscriptions. But for now, all we ask is your continued feedback and suggestions--thank you for all you have provided to date! Tell a friend or colleague--free activation code is TEFFRIEND.
 
What's New? 
 
flyer pg 1Have your students check out and comment on the blog's latest posting, "Cell Phones: Too Much of a Good Thing?"

flyer pg 1You can now print a copy of a SCAN session (including all student issues and comments) right from MySCANs! Just click on the printer icon next to the desired session. You can also still print a session from the "print session" button at the top of the SCAN session page. 

flyer pg 1"Teacher-provided lesson"--use your own handwritten lesson, designate points of views, and assign roles. You can have students read a hard copy of your lesson and then do a SCAN online. You get the power of the SCAN tool coupled with the relevance of your content! Give it a try!
