I think I am most concerned about pacing. It is easy to plan a unit, but very often hard to accurately predict how much time things will actually take. In a traditional classroom where you can pick up the pace or slow things down depending on how quickly or slowly students learn. If more reinforcement is needed on a particular concept, or an extra day is needed to finish an activity, it is easy to adapt in a traditional classroom. If the unit is set in "e-cement", I am nervous about how it can be adapted if needed.
Though I am looking forward to working with my teammate, Richard, I think I am nervous too, about coordinating schedules for collaboration. The temptation is great to just say, "Why don't we meet at TC in Russell 2nd floor, or at Everett Lounge to plan." but that is a no-no. :) The restriction of no f2f provides opportunity to be creative with how to most effectively communicate and collaborate without the f2f option.
