    In reply to @JoanneSabo

    Surprising to me. They don't see that the current method isn't working so they need to come up with plan B. #ATchat

    So what do they suggest in the meantime? #ATchat
    In reply to @bcdtech
  • bcdtech Mar 22 @ 8:17 PM EDT
    @KarenJan Compared to choices on Google Sites- Wiki, Wix and Weebly offer more. But quick and simple- Google Sites wins- #ATchat

  • VickiBostonSLP Mar 22 @ 8:20 PM EDT
    these situations are tricky. I had the most success w/the Clicker apps but they can be prep time-consuming #ATchat
    In reply to @bcdtech, @KarenJan
  • KarenJan - Moderator Mar 22 @ 8:20 PM EDT
    True. Same with Ss. Until they see the value, they don't try the tech. We are enabling both Ts and Ss and nobody wins. #ATchat
