Yes, it is indeed the new KnowZone and it's free!  I have already set up
an account for one of our teachers as a test, and it was easy.  Ask your
Basic Skills person for the info.   They should already have passwords
created by the district, not the awful long ones from before.

We are excited about using this resource and are planning on a teacher
inservice to set up accounts and enroll students.

>>If any of you know anymore about this I would love to hear it.
