I am excited for our time "together" on Thursday September 11 at 3:30pm. Many of you are having multiple teachers sit in...great idea. Our webinar led by Dan will give us a look at the tool and some ideas on where to start. If 10 of our schools opt in, we all save. I hope to have resources to pay your initial set-up fee.
