iPads and Test Prep
Stephen Brian and I received an email from the LMS at Willowbrook. I appreciate the +1!
I want to give Spencer and Klosterman a shout-out from Willow Brook Library.
He helped us with Ipad issues and worked diligently to get up and running for student testing. Spencer also helped get us set up with printers and such.
Thanks
