OMG... it is snowing again!

Off to a great start for the New Year. We are all tired of the COLD and SNOW, but we need the precipitation, or it is going to be a wicked fire season. So while I am cooped up in my house (y'all know I will not venture forth in the snow, no matter how minor it is, unless absolutely required), I have been looking for some Professional Development for everyone. Some of us need to renew this year and some of us just need a jump start.
Here's the first of my "finds" ~

There are other sessions also. I have done these. They are not difficult to manage and they are pretty good, although each is different. I really like the FREE aspect also.
