Lately feeling a bit unprepared for “running” this online class. In some ways I’m not too worried, because we have all the time in the world to do something….yet I also really want to get some traction on this project. One of the Sessions I’ll be attending at the CAA conference in Chicago next week might have some ideas that might help.
