No Joke

April fools day is usually a day for some light humor at the expense of our friends and co-workers. This April, Texans must have thought that the state was kidding when the Texas Education Agency (TEA) announced the availability of cutting-edge interactive study guides for Texas students to assist with TAKS preparedness. We had over 7,000 unique visitors to the site on April 3rd! Parents, teachers, and students must not have thought it was true. Since then, we have been averaging about 1,000 visitors a day.

While the TEA has provided Study Guides for some time, this marks the first large scale implementation of interactive study guides based on the TEA print guides. Also, in case you missed it, we did put out a press release announcing this blog and our new Reference Site. If you have any questions or comments about Perspective, please feel free to submit them. We will answer them as soon as possible.
