Triumphs

Mostly kept pace between three sections of the same class
Kept my stuff together - cords, etc. Grid it system worked like a champ
Experience what my teaching is like, versus me talking about it (while still explaining while we go)
Continually working on just-in-time learning/demonstrations, when possible (tapes, SnagIt)
