Just had the pleasure of watching Ms. Bah's webinar. Her methodology, advice, and research examples inspired me. For too long I've only wondered who is buried in our family cemetery. The stones I remember as a child have been trampled by cattle and are long gone. Now I know how to do the research. Thank you!
very interesting.
Very informative I learned so much. I will definitely rewatch.

EXCEPTIONAL FUNCTIONAL, PRACTICAL INFORAMTIVE STRATEGIES PROVIDED FOR SUPPORT AND ASSISTANCE. VERY FLUENT & CONSISTENT STRATEGIES REINFORCED THROUGHOUT THE PRESENTATION. INTEGRATED SENSES FOR RETAINING INFORMATION: (EX: VISUAL, AUDITORY, TOUCH), WHICH FOR ME CREATED A SENSE OF TRAVELING BACK INTO TIME AND AN EAGERNESS TO EXPLORE MORE! THANK YOU!
Every time I watch a presentation by Char Bah, I learn new things and get ideas for my research. I love that she is so visual and talks about all the things that make up a community, which helps with research.
