<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u>Additional Notes:<o:p></o:p></u></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Consider the amount of support that your teachers will need if they are trying to use electronic resources and tools from home. Many teachers will need help understanding “browser type,” “browser version,” how to disable pop-up blockers,
how to load extensions, how to install browser upgrades, etc. It will be necessary for local technology support contacts to have a phone and/or online presence.<o:p></o:p></p>
