Like I mentioned, this episode is centered on blogging and social media and was designed as a follow-up to the chapter I published in the ManACE e-book, Education and Technology: Manitoba Action and Reflection. My chapter was written in 2016 so it was interesting to go back and see how the role of social media has evolved over the past four years and the opportunities that it has presented for me, my students, and my colleagues.
