Now that you are familiar with Padlet and how to use it, why don't you start by creating your own Padlet wall and then share it with me and your classfellows. You can utilize the email feature in our CMS, Desire 2 Learn (D2L)

What do we share

It is always a bit scary when you are asked to introduce yourself. Remember , learning is a social process and we have to build our own community of inquiry and learning in order to succeed in this onlinecourse. Let us start by introducing ourselves. Upload a recent picture and then tell us a bit about yourself.

I am Munir.
