Online Training Expands Users

Rachel Brackett ("Miss Melody") narrates a 4-minute online video training session that prepares teachers to jump right into teaching First Note! We have been receiving requests for a video of this sort as teachers are located to different schools, substitute teachers are assigned, or teachers go on leave. We're pleased to say initial response has been quite strong!
