I'm a professor at Meredith College in Raleigh. We do a real CS major, but there's only two of us teaching, so I wear many hats.

Stage 1 ... was somewhat overwhelming. There are tons of things to learn and we are all not in the same place. I'm sort of at the point of just learning how to get into a FOSS, so I was behind in the activities relating to how to teach this stuff (not that I'm worried -- I am already into the philosophy of the whole thing).

Stage 2 I'm writing this just as the workshop is finishing. It's still kinda overwhelming, but I know a lot more than I did. This whole thing leans on GitHub, which luckily I already use. Maybe the best thing I got was a pretty good answer to how to make my courses REALLY out there (and be able to just 'push' notes and have them get to the students).

Stage 3 ... yet to come.
