I WONDER…

  • how you could better link to creativity/ examples      this came out most in operational analysis
  • if we can develop electronic tools  (apps) for students
  • why I never was introduced to this material
  • all the time
  • how these ideas can be applied in the work I do and with my son

I CAN USE…
