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:
An Introductory Section, which introduces the technique and explains how it can help them in the classroom.
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.
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.
