Reflection on Stem e-mission

Yesterday started out with some apprehension. However, as soon as each person's/group's role was clarified this apprehension started to dissipate. Besides, as we worked together, we seemed like pros. It was a fantastic experience! I would like to adapt this experience to the teaching of Spanish; hence I would like to know what resources exist for follow-up and actual guidelines for use.
I look forward to future fantastic experiences with my students.
