Part 1: PUBLIC

I’m supposed to be taking a week off from Pepperdine MALT but I find that there are many preparations to be made. We are building team roles, completing reading assignments and learning the different educational technologies that we will be using. It feels more like a week of pre-production rather than vacation.
