Well. I can't imagine that something that expensive would sell when so
much is available for free on the Web. In fact, Scholastic Network, until
now a paid subscription service, is going to be free for educators
starting next fall. I know (since I sent some colleagues to them) that
Scholastic has been having focus groups galore with teachers which no
doubt influenced their decision. So Classroom Connect and Scholastic seem
to be going in totally different Internet directions!
