Representative quote from participant: “I’ve really appreciated these online courses. I do feel much more connected to the “big picture,” after hearing from so many folk around the world, and getting some individual feedback from a couple, some threads that may continue after this. It gives me such a feeling of being a part of things. Thanks so much. This was very important for many of us who are teaching around the world, I think.
