It was a long week, school tutoring edition: they crammed five days’ worth of programming into four, and that got old pretty quick. I don’t really blame the school, though. Nobody’s thought about how to do this stuff before; I’m sure that if/when we ever have to do it again it’ll go ten times as smoothly.
But in the meantime, I need to take a nap.
I have to argue that k12.com and others have put a lot of thought into it over the past decade+, and that Blackboard makes a dedicated software suite for the purpose that’s darned near bulletproof, and intuitive to use. (If you used the old WebRPG.com python program to play games on-line during the late ’90s, I’m pretty sure it grew from the same kernel. Just many generations more stable, elegant, and able.)

I think you’d be shocked at how smoothly it could have gone.
