Week 2 Update

Things are going a lot slower than I had originally planned. Coming into this semester, I already had 2 days of curriculum done and up to day 10 outlined with teaching objectives and possible activities. I decided to change how the course was going to work for the students and not have them use Sublime Text but use CodePen.io instead. Well, because of this I've had to completely redo day 1 and I scrapped day 2 all together.  I started a new day 2 and realized there were things that would need to be taught in the curriculum before the day 2 I was creating. Now I've got day 1 complete and most of what will be day 3 complete.
I started to created screencast videos with me speaking, which I wasn't initially planning on using. These videos are taking a long time. I've had to re-record most of them a few times. It's coming along though and I think the integration of these videos will make the curriculum much more user-friendly. 
I'd really like to get the first week of curriculum complete with printable activities, pictures, and the lesson plans by next week. After working this week, this seems quite overwhelming. However, I want to get it done so I can send it out to a few teachers to try in their classrooms and I can get feedback and adjust.
