+ | |||
+ | I have put a narrated version of the presentation on SlideShare where you can watch it at your leasure, download it and adapt for your own purposes or whatever. SlideShare also has a nifty feature which allows you to embed a slideshare presentation into your own web pages, Blackboard pages, etc. Here is the presentation: | ||
