Today's web conference (2/11/12) was most informative. Many questions were answered concerning Epic and TK20. We found out that our Reflections need to be posted to TK20 only; this is sufficient.
We will soon be receiving on our Discussion Board, a checklist of everything needed to be posted to TK20.
Also, Tutorials for Lamar University Educational Leadership LCE study course is posted at this website: http://sites.google.com/site/luedlead/
