How did I get here?!

I’m attending the ONL 241 course which is very challenging as I don’t have much available time (as many other people). But I’m finding it very interesting and useful! Last week I watched the recording of the webinar with David White which was very inspiring. David challenged the participants to draw a map of their […]
