For a couple hours today, SuperTeacherTools was down (I knew right away because I happened to be using it with a class myself!).  Apparently the data center that hosts the site had some serious problems that took a number of other sites offline for the afternoon as well.

I understand how important it is for teachers to be able to access these tools reliably and there are few feelings on this earth more disheartening than standing in front of a group of students looking at a blank screen because the site you need won’t load.  I have been assured by the hosting company that this issue has been dealt with and shouldn’t repeat.
