Additional Coverage of TPS Story

Hello and Welcome to On EdTech Plus!

How is the On EdTech early rollout going? luckily the process seems to be going well. We had one hiccup yesterday when the PhilOnEdTech site went down due to a faulty plugin, but thanks to alert readers the problem was resolved quickly. We have also had some good feedback, which is always welcome.

On with the update.
