karenbeverly commented on the blog post The Pledge of Allegiance
I like the idea of recording the students reciting the Pledge of Allegiance so they could listen to themselves from home. I’m wondering, however, how much time it would require for you to record each and every student. Perhaps you could record a grouping of two or three students at…

Short and to the point – I like it. It doesn’t bog me down with a ton of details I would need to weed through later to search out the important dates and things to remember. It’s all segmented very nicely.
