Bookmarks

Posted on 28th June 2020 by NomadWarMachine

I can rarely find a bookmark when I want one – I use scraps of paper, post it notes, whatever I have to hand. I remember trips to bookshops as a child, the thrill of a book token for Xmas … Continue reading →

How to nurture a community of online learners

Posted on 13th March 2020 by NomadWarMachine
