Week 1 - Evidence & Teams4/6/2020 Firstly, I know some teachers have jumped on the band wagon and will be posting lots of stuff through "teams"-- it's not my favourite platform, but has some perks. I will be setting up a trial run for this class to see if it is something everyone can connect to. It is set up through your langleyschools.ca account.
