EduHound Site Updates! http://www.eduhound.com/edumatch/main.html If you go to our page at: http://www.eduhound.com/edumatch/main.html ******************************* NEWS FROM EDUMATCH We told you about the new Premium Program for districts from our friends at www.edumatch.com a while ago. It's starting to catch on and several districts have enrolled. That's great news. This is the free (yes, free!) service that will match your state's curriculum standards to over 4,000 curriculum software titles and give district administrators unprecedented control over the acquisition process. Districts that subscribe to the edumatch Premium Program get a revolutionary new tool for complying with state curriculum standards and a system of checks and balances for controlling district spending on software. There's much more, of course. We encourage you to go to www.edumatch.com and click on Premium Program on the home page.
