Or even better yet, let some of them look it up...maybe even have a race. Admitting our own ignorance in a situation is difficult, but it also shows the students that we are doing the best we can and when we are able to come back with an answer, it shows them that we continue to learn.

But in terms of knowing the subject matter, I still have some questions. What if one or more student raised a question beyond our expectation or knowledge and we couldn't answer on the spot? How to deal with this spontaneous challenge? That frustration feeling really kills me if I encounter this difficulty. That article was a fantastic point of view.
