Virtual Session Agenda
Hi Everyone! Enjoy this virtual session about Learning Spaces. We're going to use a MentorMob Playlist (now called Lesson Paths) as a way to organize the resources and activities for the virtual session! You'll need to work through the items in the playlist. There are a couple activities incorporated along the way. The expectation is that these activities will be complete by the time you arrive at Thursday's class on 3/25.

If you want more information there are supplementary resources at the bottom of the page about these topics. Send me an email if you have any questions. Enjoy! Erin media type="custom" key="23500190"
