PowerTeacher Support
This website contains links to PowerTeacher Support documentation, primarily on The Modern Pen. These links can also be found on The Modern Pen itself, but it is also collected here to make it easy for teachers to find those relevant blog entries when they are needed.
PowerTeacher Pro is expected to be released for the 2016-2017 school year. This release will include a new Gradebook that runs in Chrome rather than launching a separate application. Updated materials will be created and linked here as PowerTeacher Pro rolls out.
