iPass: Just a reminder that Firefox is the preferred browser when working on report cards. We are aware of an issue with some computers where Firefox and iPass are not working. In those cases, Safari is the next best browser to use. Chrome is not supported. Remember to "SAVE" often.
For those who wish to enter T2 for competencies for the entire class ~ iPass was able to increase the number of competencies that can be submitted with T2 to 15. It was not allowing more than 10. Thank you to Eva for working with them on this. And thank you to the teachers for bringing this issue to our attention.

Promethean Planet: For those using ActivInspire remember the wonderful variety of free resources available on Promethean Planet. Download flipcharts and use as is or edit them to make them fit with your curriculum. Flipcharts are like a powerpoint; which is a great way to organize all of your lesson resources in one place.
