Thanks, Donna! If you do a search on my blog for “learning stations” you should find the info you need. Let me know if you have trouble finding them.
First time experience with a webinar. Extremely refreshing for those of us who have been at it for many years. Just a great in service training for “newbies” as well as “oldies” in the field. Thank you!
