  Hello my friends, and welcome back to my blog page!!  I am back after a short break. I will be leaving the link to my 'about me' page right here in case you want to refresh your memory. I am currently taking a course named "Current Issues in Teaching" and my blog posts for this year are going to be related to what we learn in our classes. I hope you can  benefit from what I will be sharing and learn more about educational technologies with me. Once again it is nice to see you here and I look forward to meeting in my upcoming posts as well.  Till then, take care!
