Liam felt he really was immersed in the school and the learning, even though it was a short prac

he enjoyed the involvement made possible by working in a collaborative online environment

we got “off track” a bit re: finishing the unit....but any good PBL would do the same - he was responsive to student needs and student voice and let that guide his prac

ALL GOOD!!!!
