I don't know about everyone else, but I have found that when there is something that I am dreading, or have a lot of apprehension about, the best thing I can do is stop avoiding it and just jump in.
That's pretty much where I am at right now. I have never taught and have never put a lesson plan together. We've read so much about standards, curriculum, assessment, teaching styles, learning styles - the idea of building something that covers all of those areas seems totally overwhelming. But - I think that once I dive in and get into it, it won't be as overwhelming as I think. I also think this exercise will help me a lot, both in getting over the fear and in giving me a new perspective to consider when reading about online learning.
And, I'm really glad to be doing this with a team!

I hope that your project goes well. There is much research that says that collaboration and time are the keys to a high-quality lesson plan.
