I'm going to cease emailing to everyone as I will be having conversations on this page. I encourage you to check this page daily to ensure that you are updated. Not receiving your emails will no longer be accepted as all information pertaining to this program will be on here. Every teacher should participate actively on these groups DEADLINE FOR MIGRATION = 23rd of March 2012 I'm writing this on email once more as I know you are all not checking the page regularly.
