  7. Kristin – DRIPPING SPRINGS ISD (verified owner) –

    I enjoyed hearing about the different ways to decide on how to divide up the students for small group instruction. She talks about examples within the packet for the audience to look at but does not show the packet pages on the screen so you really have to visualize what she is trying to explain, instead of seeing the example.
