#AfricaEd A1 writing a blog makes me really reflect on what I am doing in the classroom. Great PD. Blogging is important part of my PLN

@rharwood17 Thank you, honestly, I think it's one of the most powerful PD's I've ever undertaken. Biggest take away is my PLN like #AfricaED

A2 If we expect students to be reflective, shouldn't we do the same? #africaed https://t.co/Fo7p4CykN8

A2 A professional blog is also a great way to celebrate learning and school/class events. #africaed https://t.co/QmBbbLFaIh
