This is a blog I’m going to be using to share things I come across in my travels on the web that relate to our course. Sometimes you will be required to read/watch/listen to and respond to them. Always, you are invited to read/watch/listen, and consider how they connect to the things we’re discussing and learning.
Later, you will be asked to contribute your own connections. 🙂
