Donna L. Eberle said… - Marilyn I love only2clicks but I am a little confused about how my students can access my site. Do they need to log on too? When I just give them the link it takes them to the homepage to only2clicks but not my information that I collected for them to use. I think I missed a step from the student perspective. Thanks!
