New discussion schedule inside. NO discussion this month (November)- Next meeting will be in December.

[Alice Aman]

Hi everyone,

We will NOT meet next week on Nov 21st. I'll send out an email
meeting reminder next month for our December meeting. But if you are
ahead in your reading, please note where I've added a link to an
article on the web to be included for our discussion on December 19th.
The article is relatively recent and is about what teachers think
about how technology is changing the way kids learn.

Hope y'all have a great Thanksgiving.
