New Site
Remember last week when I said the new website was coming? Well, it's here:

We've moved things around to make it easier for educators to understand what we do and how we can help. Our aim was to be clear and concise, because hey, you're busy. Please have a look and let us know how we did.

Review
Both Thumbprint 1.1 and the Web App are still in development. We found some stuff in the 1.1 Beta that still needs some refining, so we're taking our time to make sure we get it right.
In other news, our website is undergoing a substantial overhaul, mostly about making it clearer exactly what the app does, as well as explaining all the ways we help schools to get everything up and running. When it's done, we'll announce it here.
