Researching the Medieval Inquisition »
I’m not exactly maintaining radio silence this week, and I’ll probably be on Twitter very regularly for the next several days when I am in Blackboard 9.0 training (three days of in-depth training in preparation for our upgrade and migration), but I haven’t gotten any writing done.
