Prezi has many new and unique features that teachers will want to take advantage of.

You may utilize youtube, teacher tube etc. to embed whatever you like. I will look for instructional videos to help anyone that needs extra help with this component. Due April 27, 2012.__

 * 2) The discussion board for March is now available! All you need to do this week is to make sure you have created your schooltown.net account as an educator. Thank you, and have a great week!
 * 3) The token to join and begin working in schooltown.net will be available Monday, March 13-23rd. I have an assignment window on schooltown which says Welcome Salem R-80 Teachers. You will want to look at that assignment and follow the directions to complete the discussion. Please let me know via email if you have any issue! --Phil
