Use and customize the Orientation Ppt, VoiceThread, and Scavenger Hunt to fit the needs of your students:
The Ppt. can be used for a live class session.
The Scavenger Hunt and VoiceThread resources can serve as students' independent work/assessment. This format was chosen because it will also be accessible and self-paced for students who miss the live class session.
