Well, this is it…the last blog post for EC&I 834!   I couldn’t be happier that this, my first ed. tech. course, was my third class of my program – I learned so many things that I know will be helpful to me throughout the rest of my program...

Welcome to the finale of the semester-long process of my course creation! I put a lot of hard work and time into each of my blog posts, most of which are linked below, and in the course itself, so I hope you enjoy the culmination of my process and...
