(Once again, with gusto.) And yet, when I thought about sitting down to write this post, I … Continue reading [16] The Big Four-Zero

New blog post! Learning to Juggle: When Distance Learning Turns Into a Circus.

If you’d told me a few years back that Coco would begin such a formative period of her life online and in this kind of environment, I’d have laughed.
