Earlier this week, I did a Facebook live video sharing my top 5 apps of the year. You can watch it here.It made me reflect on 2017 and what an amazing year it has been. Especially when it comes to my social media channels. It has been a year where the videos I make about life as a teacher have had such an amazing response from you guys.
