In this first episode of a 5-part series reflecting on a year of virtual teaching and learning, Diana describes her approach to having ‘serious fun’ in the classroom. Based on principles of play and experimentation, Diana asks: what if trusting your audience by opening up to the group is the secret ingredient that will allow for connection in meaningful ways?

Let’s have some serious fun.I'm all about interesting projects with interesting people! Let's Connect on the web or via Instagram. :)
