Here I was ready to start teaching my virtual class when my computer died! I conducted the class on my iPhone then ran around looking for someone to fix this catastrophe. I called Glen and he was able to check my computer right away. It took a few hours, but he had it fixed and ready to go in time for Back to School Night.
