Below, is a snapshot from one of our April Fool's Pranks (which took a total of 10 minutes of our day). Jake was our target! He had the opportunity to clean off his desk since it was cleared of everything, except cat pictures - his favorite animal (NOT)! Anticipate retribution at some point!
The number of EduPaths users continues to increase. Through word-of-mouth (no presentations or conferences this week), our numbers increased to 1,496 (up from 1,417) as of today - Friday, April 1. Our Twitter following also increases daily - currently at 188.
