It’s hard to believe that another semester has come and gone. This has truly been one of the most challenging, yet inspiring classes I have been a part of. I never expected to grow and learn so much in just a month and a half. Debating contemporary issues in education is something that every educator should take part in because it allows you to see issues from all points of views and widen your perspective.

Like I say in my Summary of Learning video, I am so grateful for everything I learned during this semester. I feel impacted by each one of you in my class… whether it was through your stories, your perspectives, your humour, your blog posts, your tweets, or your encouragement. Thank you for being a part of my #edtech journey and for pushing me to be a better educator so that collectively, we can make a difference in the lives of others and in our world.

Hi, Amanda, I really enjoying watching your summary of learning, thank you so much for creating such an informative and easily understandable piece of work. particularly for me, a non-English speaker, your language and well-organised train of thoughts truly help me better understand what we have learned from our classmates and Alec. Love the compact but delicate visuals too.. 🙂
