On Thursday I managed to do a presentation for the 2021 PressEd Conference (WordPress in Education) at the same time I was co-hosting a BCcampus H5P Kitchen webinar. The former was easy because of the refreshingly unique mode of this conference as all “presentations” are done as a series of tweets in a 15 minute […]
