Contact me via email at jourdain_jennifer@montytech.net or call me at x5125. I can meet you during your prep period or after school to go over the program, brainstorm how the program can meet your curriculum needs, then set up time to train your students in the lab. Usually, there is a research component as well and I will also assist your students in finding quality information.
