I try to keep teaching fresh by getting creative, as well. I have even turned what would be a written exam into a project.

I am not sure what Tom means by blueprints. Is there a class that teaches about blueprints? Both Gems and Tom say blueprints are great. I use Canvas, but it sounds like I have much to learn.
