When you are done with the above work, paste a link to this document on
your web site titled​ “Thinking about Teaching Practice” worth 40
points, due Monday at midnight​. NOTE: Each box in questions 7-9 is
worth 1 point. You will only receive a point if your “reasons” are
substantive, introspective, and thoughtful. The whole point of today is to
think deeply about your current teaching practice before thinking deeply
about moving it online, which we will do tomorrow :).

You are all done for Monday!
