DESCRIPTION
This is the presentation we use when giving students and schools an introduction to online learning. We do this with all schools and students before they start their online classes to ensure they are prepared for learning online. They know how to use the tools, how to interact and they begin to develop some confidence in interacting with others.TRANSCRIPT
