Part 2
We can benefit from connecting with each other on how we are processing the readings and concepts for the lesson, as well as where we have questions.
Consider sharing how you are processing ideas and check in to see if you are able to answer each other’s questions. Ideas for using this space include:
Share a personal/professional example you are considering using for your learning log.
Post an article, video, image, or other resource you came across in your own searches that your peers could benefit from.
