Reflecting on Online Mathematical Conferencing
Hey everyone, and welcome to my final blog post of the year! This semester, I have focused my reflections on the leading learning activities that were presented throughout the EDBE 8F83 class, and how these resources were applicable to my own teaching. My last blog will focus on looking at online webinars that look at teaching mathematics in an academic and professional context.
