Digital Workbook – Block 4 – Reflection Time! January 11, 2013 | Leave a comment Hey all! Since I’ve finished up almost everything for this block, I thought I’d do a little post here, in order to get something constructive done today. The remaining few things to do may take a little time, but they’re sort of passive in a way. Because of that, it feels like I’m not really… Read More
