 * Wrapper Issues / Enhancements
 * --> From Judy D from before: To the Whole Team: I was trying the side icons and realized that the Tools icon might seem redundant to users (since the calculator has made such great leaps and bounds!). Before the OMCA presentation, you might consider adding at least one different type of tool at the top of the list (e.g., links to virtual manipulatives? downloadable graphpaper? protractor templates? Jing? OSAPAC?)
 * --> Placement of Eric's Number Entry Pad ---> in Tools menu - not as part of calculator
 * --> Extend Search panel to Games / Resources (any file that is downloadable from CLIPS) / Tagging activities with keywords


 * Teacher Notes / Supports
 * --> CLIPS Lesson Study Materials
 * --> Exploring Reps Materials - Jing movies (by JD) on uses for Expl Diff Reps tool - in development ?? waiting for tool to be done before working more
 * Promotion of CLIPS - OMCA Report - how did it go ? Very Well, thanks for asking. People looking for how to USE CLIPS .. !
