Did you miss any of these resources and links from this past week?
It is hard to believe how fast this week has flown by and that it is Friday already; however, in looking back over the past 7-10 days, it has been a very busy time with lots of information being shared and discussed and great feedback from partners about these. Some of you may remember back in January when I put up my A sample of what you may have been missing post that included a sample of some of the resources I had shared via my Twitter account here on the blog for those not following me on Twitter. Given the feedback this past week, I thought I would once again share some (this is not an all inclusive list) of the links and resources that I’ve been sharing out through Twitter over the past 7-10 days in case you have missed them and want to take advantage of them. To make it a little easier to consume, I have them broken down into some categories:
