Because of inclement weather conditions, we never made it […]
Twitteracy, Literacy and Generation Z – a few more presentations
Presentations benefit both presenter and attendee as opportunities to share and learn. I enjoy sharing ideas, and developing a presentation always helps me to clarify my own thinking. And if others can benefit in that process, that’s a bonus! In the last post, I shared a presentation I did for the Keystone Technology Innovators/Integrators group […]
