Tim Tebow does. And you and your class can join Tim on February 15. Check this site for all the details.  It will start at 9 ET (and according to the site, continue all day- based on this, I’m guessing it is not a live feed but rather a recording). This Book It site also has a variety of pintables for your class. Click here to register. (from iLearntechnology)
