Hi @Dr.JodiLaMothe, congratulations on getting your first course approved! 👏 It's great to have you here in the community. I love your fun fact and I might try making candy centerpieces myself - sounds relaxing! 

We're looking forward to getting to know you better! 🙂

[Dr.JodiLaMothe]

Hi Bella, 

Thank you so much! I usually give the centerpieces to my friends and family for special occasions. Let me know if you need any suggestions on "best practices" when you make your first candy centerpiece. I will be more than happy to oblige.

Can you tell us more about "social emotional learning"?  What it is, how one uses it and what an expert does?

[DeejayDev]

Hi everyone - My name is Deejay... I am a self-taught Frontend Developer and Web Designer from Nigeria, but I live in the beautiful city of Cape Town, South Africa. 

I just published my FREE course  HTML and CSS For Beginners in Nigerian Pidgin

It's a very narrow niche but I am happy with the concept. Plus Pidgin English is spoken by a number of African countries and is fun to know. 

I joined the Instructor Community because I want to learn more about how to create high-quality course content for students, ask questions, and share with the Community.

A fun fact: I wrote in my "Vision Book" to help Africans with tech 9 years ago...

Now here we are!😁
