New Mentor Opportunity 

   







Finally, I want to end by thanking all of you! I enjoyed supporting everyone in the move to fully remote last semester, and continue to be absolutely inspired by all of your dedication and innovation. 

Thank you for allowing me the space to share my passion for technology and my love for online teaching and learning. 

Please look for an announcement coming soon for applications to be the next Online Faculty Mentor at Miramar College! I hope you will consider applying for this important role. 

Staying in touch: I won't be blogging here, but continue to share and post on Twitter @dmaduliwilliams and Instagram @professormadwill.

I'm also collaborating on a series of very short (15-minute) workshops with Rechelle Mojica called The LOTT: Learn One Tiny Thing, so stay tuned for more details.
