[IAEP] Lots of Interest in SoaS at CUE

[Caroline Meeks]

Thanks Caryl!

When you talk to the tech savvy ones please ask them to help us test it so
we can get the bugs out and get it "Grannie ready!"   There has been amazing
progress in the last few weeks but I want to keep people excited not angry
that it doesn't work, so please manage expectations. ;)   We need those tech
savvy people but I don't want educators to try this in their classes
tomorrow, get frustrated, and never try it again.  We aren't quite there
yet.

Thanks!
Caroline
