Mini Lessons: September 2010
http://meredithminilessons.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 22, 2010. Today we learned about the online application: Smilebox. This program can be downloaded and used for free for a short period of time and then to continue using it, you must purchase it. Though I have to say, I don't like that fact that you have to pay for continued use.

Type in class key: 9G36Q7F89.
