DIY ProfDev is here!

Snow Day for eLearning Community

The presentation orginally scheduled for tomorrow is now cancelled due to bad weather. 

Why, you might ask, is an online presentation affected by a snow day?

The power has been in and out where I am, today so I'd rather not chance it.  The same topic will be rescheduled soon.

Thanks,
Scott Dennis
