Just a few updates...

Hello everyone,

I know a couple of you have expressed interest in posting instructional tech resources. If you are interested in leaving comments, I have made it open to anyone. Feel free to do so, it will not appear right away because I will approve the content prior to posting it. You can use html to embed objects or format your text.

If you think you will become a frequent contributor, please contact me with your google account email address and I will add you as an author. With author privileges, you can use Rich Text Formatting to embed video, audio, pictures, etc.

I hope this clears up some confusion.

Warmest regards,

Kirstin
