2. This deck functions as a template we can provide faculty and staff who are interested in
teaching their peers.
I’ve broken it down into three main sections:
1 An Introductory Section, which introduces the technique
and explains how it can help them in the classroom.
2 A Tutorial Section, which gives a detailed step-by-step
process of how to do the technique, using lots of screen
grabs and embedded videos.
3 And finally a resource/contact section, which will house a
compilation of external links, Technology and Learning
contact info, and references if they need additional help or
materials.
