Evaluation Criteria 4: Cost

Are there any costs involved in the use of this web tool? 5 Stars

Costs involved in using this web tool are miminal, in fact the tools can be accessed and used at no cost in most cases. The some of the professional development opportunities that are provided by the NCTE on this site do cost money. However, we would expect this to be so.
