a reflective journal by Linda Blinova https://padlet.com/linda_blinova/ixbt41iz5vq7 Just like a diary, I'm going to make notes in my journal on a regular basis. I can include something I have realised or learnt that I think is important and want to remember; a question I have; something I want to research further; an idea I have gained and want to to try. A completely working tool, however, open to others. en-us 2017-06-18 21:53:15 UTC 2017-06-18 22:07:59 UTC hello@padlet.com Galina 19.06 linda_blinova https://padlet.com/linda_blinova/ixbt41iz5vq7/wish/176782582 cut down/cut out
