SURVIVAL TIP #1
'Be Prepared'
'Be Prepared'
It's always important to be prepared for your class, so take some time to get the following apps ready for our session. TouchCast is available as an iPad app, while google hangouts will need you to sign up for a google accout. Hangouts also has a chrome extension if you wish to get this also.
SURVIVAL TIP #2
'Do your Research"
