Other notes

During the past month, we met with many teachers and researchers at our teacher workshop and advisory board meetings. We received lots of feedback about our tools that we plan to incorporate in our future releases. For example, we discussed ways to design shared spaces using the notebook and running synchronized activities using analytics.

Please report any issues you find on this mailing list or on GitHub: https://github.com/WISE-Community/WISE. We switched back to using Slack for communication, and we'll make a separate announcement about this soon.

Thanks!
