To readers/visitors who attended yesterday’s Webinar from OpenTextbookAdvocateTrainers [15] (and anyone else who wants it), click here to access the PowerPoint slide deck [16]. This slide deck was used in a presentation providing an introduction to “5 fun, free photo and image editing applications for the classroom”. Stop back Sunday (or any time after) to check out a recorded tutorial based on this that I’ve decided to put together as next week’s feature post (might as well make the best of the work I did to create the presentation, right - there’s only so many hours in the week!).
