Boerne Schools Test the Waters with New Web-based Learning Environment | Digett

My business computer programming class was fortunate to have Mark Figart of Digett as a guest speaker, yesterday. The students are preparing a podcast from the audio recording of the question and answer sessions. The students asked great questions and documented their responses as assignement entries in our Boerne Virtual School Moodle course. We are looking forward to having other speakers from the local Boerne business community.
