Being a teacher can be hectic, we know! With that in mind, we will now be making all SMAC material available online. This post contains all of the material included in the SMAC Notebooks and from the first workshop sessions. Please, feel free to download, replace and share these materials as needed.

If you prefer e-copies, you may also even consider using these resources to create an e-notebook and do away with the paper copies altogether!

From here on out, all materials used and disseminated through SMAC activities will be made available on the blog.

Please, let us know if we miss anything and I will be sure to get copies up ASAP!
