[Athen] Teachers' Handwritten Math Notes

[Heather Mariger via athen-list]

Thank you so much!

I reached out and you all gave me some amazing advice. I now have a bunch
of ideas and suggestions for my Math Faculty to try out. I am excited to
try out some of the tools you suggested as well.

I am so grateful to have such generous and knowledgeable folks to reach out
to. You all ROCK!

Thanks again,
H.
