We host virtual APPy Hours (because we're all about apps and app development ;-) to bring teachers together in a casual environment to network. Bring a glass of wine or anything you want, meet a new friend, talk best practices etc. We have found that works really well instead of titling it "PD".

2. What do you want to do?
3. What are you current/upcoming lessons about?
