I ordered your virtual orientation/open house after watching your webinar. I really enjoyed this but I was trying to be pro active for the upcoming school year. However, I cannot open it to save it to my drive. I have contacted you on many of your websites but you have not answered. I start school with 7 students on July 27th. Please let me know what I need to do to rectify this problem. I usually don’t have trouble with my TPT website. Thank you.
