Hey Lori, glad you found that article useful. Strangely enough, I recently collaborated online with someone I had only known for about a month, online! We wrote an article together and started an international network for educators 🙂 I can tell you the story when we meet 🙂
But I do know this is not the norm, so I get your concern about people who had not worked together before. Let’s bring this issue up for group discussion this week?
