I'm not sure where your venting came from, but I have some thoughts to share. I have joined a few collaborations. The ones that seemed to work best are what I've heard called quick in/ quick out projects. When something is going to be long term it is hard to keep all project partners at the same enthusiastic level. As time progresses, as with all my curriculum, things will even out. There will be some people that I would collaborate with again in a heartbeat. There is also the fact that I joined <i>almost</i> every collaboration. The one that I joined with just one teacher and class has been the best. I personally learned something from every collaboration. My students have also learned about working with others from a distance. So far, that's enough for the first year. I'm glad you're finding a calm. Just keep rolling with what works for you and your students. Ann This is my first year collaborating outside of my school building.
