While we faced some difficulties we came together as a group, working hand in hand, helping each other. We learned new things about ICT4D topics, our classmates, team members and ourselves.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>As you know our blog \u201cSpotlight on Development\u201d focused on how ICT4D impacts development professionals, their work and those whom they are trying to help. We chose this topic in part because we all felt that it is good to stop from time to time and evaluate what you have been doing, where you have been going and where you are heading. Through this exercise we managed to do just that, it has been a great and fun learning experience and we hope that you enjoyed it too!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We wish you all the best for the future, stay healthy, safe and reflective!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Development Spotlight Group<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-379\" src=\"https:\/\/wpmu.mau.se\/nmict21group4\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2021\/12\/yannis-h-uaPaEM7MiQQ-unsplash-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpmu.mau.se\/nmict21group4\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2021\/12\/yannis-h-uaPaEM7MiQQ-unsplash-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/wpmu.mau.se\/nmict21group4\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2021\/12\/yannis-h-uaPaEM7MiQQ-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wpmu.mau.se\/nmict21group4\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2021\/12\/yannis-h-uaPaEM7MiQQ-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wpmu.mau.se\/nmict21group4\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2021\/12\/yannis-h-uaPaEM7MiQQ-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wpmu.mau.se\/nmict21group4\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2021\/12\/yannis-h-uaPaEM7MiQQ-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wpmu.mau.se\/nmict21group4\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2021\/12\/yannis-h-uaPaEM7MiQQ-unsplash-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/wpmu.mau.se\/nmict21group4\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2021\/12\/yannis-h-uaPaEM7MiQQ-unsplash-525x350.jpg 525w, https:\/\/wpmu.mau.se\/nmict21group4\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2021\/12\/yannis-h-uaPaEM7MiQQ-unsplash-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear reader, As this exercise comes to a close, we would like to thank you for reading and for the great comments you made, which helped us with our own reflections and let us see things through your eyes. &nbsp; We would also like take a moment for a few&#8230; <a class=\"continue-reading-link\" href=\"https:\/\/wpmu.mau.se\/nmict21group4\/2021\/12\/06\/thanks-and-goodbye\/\">Continue reading<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":221,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-377","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\r\n<title>Thanks and Goodbye! - Development Spotlight<\/title>\r\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\r\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/wpmu.mau.se\/nmict21group4\/2021\/12\/06\/thanks-and-goodbye\/\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Thanks and Goodbye! - Development Spotlight\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Dear reader, As this exercise comes to a close, we would like to thank you for reading and for the great comments you made, which helped us with our own reflections and let us see things through your eyes. &nbsp; We would also like take a moment for a few...
