[Simtrainer-l] Simtrainer-l Digest, Vol 214, Issue 1

Thu Jul 9 17:24:35 CDT 2020

Hi Jean,
Bonnie, Cindy and I have been working this week with Xtreme teachers from
last year and new ones for this year. (Rosanne worked with us preparing).
They are excited about the digital materials, and Bonnie and I can give you
more  feedback as we continue to work with them this year. Many of them
have developed videos and activities to work with their students remotely.
We are excited about the possibilities. Thank you for all of your hard work
in making this happen.
Janet
