PRESENTATION RESOURCES FOR STUDENTS
There are endless opportunities to present learning outcomes these days and an equal amount of free WEB 2.0 resources to match.
.
Often these resources require some type of identification in the way of a current email and password, but in some cases websites will require further details. It is important to remember that when you sign up and publish work on these websites you are adding to your DIGITAL FOOTPRINT and publishing work in a public forum and therefore consider the implications of this.
