Get practical answers on how to better leverage Project Foundry®.
Attend informative sessions, meet other Project Foundry® users and get a preview on new features.
In collaboration with Northwoods Community Secondary School (Rhinelander, WI) and Tagos Leadership Academy (Janesville, WI) Project-based Learning Systems is facilitating the conference to disseminate best practices in project-based learning management.
Your school uses Project Foundry®, but does not take advantage of all the powerful features that you just KNOW would make life a little easier.
