TWICE News and Views

Read Around the Planet registration seems to be coming along nicely, now that all three types of teacher registration are up and running. You might be interested in a few numbers.

Read Around the Planet numbers

• Teacher match request registrations: 216 (as of 9:50 EST Dec. 21).
• Pieces of Equipment: 545 (of which 281 are verified). This number worries us a bit. Make sure that you’ve finished the Verification Steps so your equipment is listed as “Ready to be Verified”. This is how you request verification this year. “Ready to be Verified” means it’s on our todo list.

Collaborations Around the Planet numbers

• New accounts in CAPspace since Sept. 10: 601
• Friend Relationships Confirmed: 299
• Friend Relationships Pending: 401 (check the Home page in CAPspace and see if someone wants to be your friend)

Tools Coming in January
Early in January, there are a few other pieces we hope to have in place.

1. Coordinators registering on behalf of someone else: you will need to attach those registrations to the right equipment so that the match happens properly. Look for this tool soon.
2. Reviewing your match requests. Right now you can review all the requests under My Projects, Read Around the Planet. We hope to also allow you to see your half of the detailed match list so you can do one final check.

Deadlines

• Verification is the real rush right now! Make sure that you’ve finished the Verification Steps so your equipment is listed as “Ready to be Verified”. We need to finish verification by January 11 so there is time for you to finish registration. So hurry to finish entering your equipment.
• January 16 is the drop dead deadline for teacher registration. After that we’ll deal with leftovers. So collect those teacher registrations so you can enter them fast after verification is done.
