Podcast Episode #2: 6 Career Highlights for Me
Virtual Digital Storytelling Workshops with LEARN Québec, 2021
I have been running Hands On Media for 8 years, and 6 experiences have had a major impact on me. From working with UNICEF in Algeria, to hearing wolves howl under the Northern Lights in the Northwest Territories, Digital Literacy workshops have taken me to some really special places, working with the most incredible people.
In today’s podcast, I am going to be sharing some of the most powerful experiences I’ve had in my career teaching Digital Literacy workshops with students, adults, and elders.
