Summer2020.LauraGibbs.net

There's a track for people new to blogging, and also a track for people who want to learn how to build a student-blog-network (that's how I teach my classes). I'm working on the materials now, and should be all done by the end of May. Meanwhile, it's an on-your-own-schedule type of thing, ready for anyone who might want to join in (several people have joined the blog network already!).
