POSE QUESTIONS
- Laura had a great question. She was wondering if there was a form we could print to see which teachers had taken which trainings. It would be ideal if we had access to their transcripts. I spoke with Ms. Llamas and she said that was in the works but it would take time to compile. That same day Lisa e-mailed us a questionaire she had generated to solicit the same information from her teachers so in the mean time we can use that.
- We covered how to barcode equipment.
