I really liked the learning.com product the best from today’s
presentations, as it fits our needs a little better than K to 8th
power. When will we be talking again about purchasing? Maybe you
all have discussed it after the face to face meeting today and I
just didn’t hear it after hanging up from our Polycom connection.
I would like to get an assessment product purchased and in place for
our district by the middle of January. How do the rest of you feel?
Karl, do you still have those figures you gave us at the last
meeting? Are those same districts still on board? What are your
plans?
So many questions, but need to know what the next step would be.

I was part of a discussion with Chris after the presentation on
Thursday, we will not know a for-sure price point until after the new
year. Chris needs to go back to the learning.com folks and try and
come up with a price point as the AEA is trying to negotiate an AEA
wide consortia. There are still a lot of questions, but the biggest
is what will it cost. One thing that was left out of our earlier
price-point discussion was there will be an "administration fee" that
was not mentioned. THe way it looks, Chris will go back and try and
give us a plain and simple pricing structure that we can all
understand and use.
As far as a timeline, I know I want to to give the test for a base-
line in the Spring (April-ish) I also know that the testing windows
the the TLA has is Feb-July-ish.
