Thank you so much Gail.  I do remember the "old" KnowZone and the 
passwords, etc.  We had index cards
for each class/student with their passwords just in case they would forget.

Thanks again, and hopefully I will see you next Wed., at the first 
Lab Tech meeting.

>>>I believe ScottForesman took over the Know Zone website which used to

>>>
>>>I do hope we all get access to the program, though I forgot to ask about
>>>it at the Liaison Meeting.  It aligns with the text and is motivating and
>>>fun for the kids, while hiding the fact that they are really practicing
>>>math.  There was also a language component that worked well.

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