Not that I'm looking for another thing to add to my to do list, but I think a system like this would really help improve our awareness of each others teaching styles as well as make integration much easier as well.

I'm going to need help making the fab studio awesome.

Not sure how many of you are feeling cooked, but there's some great advice in here for finishing well.

This is a thoughtful look at making the most of the Flipped Classroom movement. 

Looks like there's some potential to be useful resources coming out of this at some point
