The review database will be open to the public at the end of September (Tech21.org) and it will contain the contributions to date and a list of other products that administrators, teachers, and students can add comments to. We thus hope to consolidate reviews as they come along and give different stakeholders a chance to add their own. I can send a picture of the results for TV411 in hopes that others might be encouraged to reply to me and keep adding their reviews for the launch. Thanks for your time and contributions.
